Generation Zero® News

Hello everyone, and hope you’re ready for another update!

We were all pleasantly surprised to see the great reception of the recent video reveal for the incoming Resistance Update. The amount of views, and more importantly, fun everyone has been having dissecting each segment of the trailer has gotten us excited all over again. There's quite a bit of fun stuff incoming this year for Generation Zero, and with that comes more complexity to what we’re building.

That being said, the more advanced the new systems are the higher the risk something might break, which is why there is always a chance such an update becomes a mixed bag of news. To get straight to the point, we are unfortunately facing delays. We made the conscious choice to push the release back to address some certification issues that arose on Xbox, and we’re still working to iron those out. The good news is, we have solutions well within our grasp and in our sight. Luckily, these are not as deeply seeded bugs as we’ve seen in past releases, only outlier certification issues.

So what does this mean for you all in the Gen Z community? When are you going to get your hands on the next update? Well, it's not too far off from when we initially wanted to release it into the wild. We managed to secure the release for both Steam and Playstation for May 4th. So, not so far off from our original date! Unfortunately, this means that those who are playing on Xbox will have to wait a little bit longer while we go through another round of certification. This should have the release landing later in may on Xbox if all goes well!

We’ve always appreciated the patience this community has had with the development process, and are also grateful for your continued engagement, which allows us to connect with you all regularly. Keep a close eye on our social channels in the coming days, as we will continue to discuss the situation there.

If you've been with us for a while you know that the world of Generation Zero has changed quite since launch. With the incoming update, the world will keep on evolving and we want to give you a little sneak peek at what’s waiting for you once you get the chance to visit the updated Östertörn.



As those of you with a sharp eye might notice, there are quite a few changes to the scenery there. Can you pinpoint them all?

Now for something even more exciting! Not only will the Resistance Update be available in May, it will also be accompanied by a brand new DLC that will bring you some sought after weapons from the East - the Soviet Weapons Pack! Included in the pack, you will find legendary weapons: the Kotenok Sniper Rifle, the AT-WAD Assault Rifle and the RLG-7 Rocket Launcher. We'll be looking closer at those during the next week. это будет дико!



Thank you all again, and have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, everyone - April is here, and so is spring (at least here in Stockholm)! As we’ve wrapped up our celebrations and look towards the next update and the next year of Generation Zero, we want to take one last chance to thank you all for a fantastic year!

Next update? Yes! We are closing up towards the release of the Resistance Update, which will introduce the Base Building and other new features into the game.

Our Beta-testers have had the chance to try this new update out, and the feedback that we’ve been getting has been great! Now there have been a couple of questions from some of you players, asking how this will work. To ensure that you all get a good understanding of the new mode, we will give you a nice peek at the Generation Zero stream when we are getting closer to release. Until then, here's a little preview of the building mode.



What item are we trying to place? Can you tell? We can't wait to hear what you think about it, so feel free to share all your feedback in the comments below or on our Social Media pages!

Until next time

Hello everyone and Happy Birthday! On this day two years ago, Generation Zero saw the light for the first time, and what a trip it’s been over these two years. Since then, we’ve come a long way, and just this past year, we’ve introduced a new inventory system with crafting and the Reaper Rival enemy. Along that came two DLCs and Assignments, but most importantly, we now have direction signs in the bunkers throughout Östertörn!

This past week was with celebrations in all different forms. We’ve had giveaways, free weekends, and if you were really lucky, you might even have won a Generation Zero PC key or a T-shirt. There’s been plenty of activity and chatter throughout the week, and we are truly grateful that you all chose to celebrate this special occasion with us!

The Generation Zero community has definitely got an eye for detail, so most of you probably already noticed that we’ve changed our colors and graphics up a bit in our recent Resistance Update Trailer [link] and on our Social Media pages. As we start our third year and the Resistance starts to grow in Östertörn, this brand new look is something that you will start to see a lot more of.

Our sharp new look is not the only thing that's new, though, and talking about the Resistance Update we’ve got some news for you! But before we show you a bit more in detail what's coming with the next update, the feedback that all of you have shared with us regarding the trailer and Basebuilding feature has been amazing, and we are very excited to share our work with you later this spring.



Speaking of Basebuilding, let's take a closer look at what this will entail. With the Resistance Update, you will now be able to create your own base in Östertörn and defend it against FNIX’s vicious attacks. A better-built base means better protection against your enemies, and believe me, you’re going to need it.



When you’re ready with your defenses, it's time to trigger the attack, and as a player, you’ll be able to select between three different difficulty levels, where the hardest one will earn you the most spoils. If you make it out alive, that is.

Lastly, thank you all for this past year - Together, we are the Resistance, and we’ll make the third year of Generation Zero amazing! Until next time, this was your year in Generation Zero:
