Will To Live Online News

Hello, fighters!

Today we have very important news. Will To Live Online becomes free since the 07th of November 2019.

Our independent indie team has been working hard on our game, publishing new updates and improving gameplay, almost for two years since the first alpha-version build was released.

Our goal is to make Will To Live if not the best, but one of the best post-apocalyptic games from CIS. And we believe that we do everything well to reach it. And we are targeted to continue our work in this direction and further!

Initially, we tried to make a game that was loyal to the player in terms of the economy and did not force the player to constantly think about pressing problems in the game. We think, that we should continue keeping this way in the future, even after changing the distribution model. However, it should be understood that some things in the game will be changed. We believe that a pay-to-win system, as it often happens to other projects, is unacceptable in our game.

Instead of it, we are going to move our Item Shop from Steam into the game, which allows us to make it more comfortable and extend character customization options, and also we will offer various solutions that increase player comfort. All items which were bought before will stay with players. Anyway, we will extend our possibilities for monetization, since it will be the only source of our revenue.



Sure, we want to reward our players, who support us in Early Access. Everyone who paid full price until the 7th of November 2019 will receive some bonuses!

A possibility to create few characters for free will not be disabled on your accounts. “Free-to-play” players will able to create only one character for free.

When we will introduce the new in-game shop, you will receive a special currency - credits. The amount of these credits will be equal to the game price by its cost. Using these credits, you can buy items in the new in-game shop.




Dear community! We would like to convey to you one more important thought, which seems to us obvious and correct. Each game developer wishes to his game the only one thing: that it lives and develops confidently. Nobody, who in their right mind, will do deliberately the game “worsen”, “spoil”, etc. We in this regard, of course, are no exception!

As each developer, we love our project, and we appreciate the support from our community!
However, on bare enthusiasm and altruism projects cannot develop indefinitely. Trite: renting a server costs money, not to mention the rest. We will try to do everything to make our project develops further.

A new era of Will To Live Online history has begun. We wish you (and to us too) luck in this!

By agreement with Steam specialists, our game should switch to a free-to-play model on November 7, 2019, at about 05:30 in Moscow time.

Regards, WTLOnline Team

Hello, fighters!

Today we’ve prepared the update 0.53.8. As we told before, we updated Unreal Engine to version 4.22, introduced a clan leveling system and many other things.


Updating the game engine affects almost every file of the game, that’s why today’s patch is big.

However, thanks to this, experimental support for DirectX 12 appeared in our game. To run the game in the DX12 mode, you should configure Steam as on the screenshot below.



If you get any issues with DirectX 12, we strongly recommend you to use DirectX11 mode.





Slot machines have appeared in the game. They are different by rates and prize pool. Some slot machines allow you to win not only money but custom weapon according to your class and medicine kits as well.

Let us note, that the win-rate chance of our slot machines is higher than on the same slot machines in real life.





Clan levels

Clans got their own leveling system. In other words, all new clans will obtain just first level and participants limitation which set up to 5 members. When clan gets a new level, the maximum quantity of participants increases to 5 members more. Moreover, each clan level allows open new technologies, which players have to study in the clan technology tree to make a clan stronger.

It is useful to note that all clans, who already have a huge amount of participants, will not able to invite new members until they will not develop their clan to the required level.

How to level-up the clan?

To increase the level of the clan, all participants should gain three kinds of points: PvE, PvP and Craft points. To earn these points, there are new daily quests will appear in the Clan interface of PDA. All these quests are sorted by a few types, and, depends on the quest, you receive PvP, PvE or Craft points. Wherein, all suggested quests will be possible to complete even by low-level players to make recruits useful as well for developing of the clan.

All of the gained points will account automatically to the general clan scores.

Clan skills

Clan skill trees appeared as well. Thankful new clan levels, new skills will available to study in the tree. Developing these skills let to get new possibilities for all participants of the clan. For example, you can study “Big clan storage” skills to increase the capacity of your clan storage, or, you can study “Faction Technologies” to get advanced technologies, recipes or ammunition of your faction.



To study skills of the clan, participants of the clan have to earn “Technologies points” in the same way as PvP and PvE points. As in the first case, to get these points players must do clan daily quests. All received points accounts to clan score automatically as well, but the leader of the clan will decide which branch of tree better to study, and clan skills not possible to reset.

In general, we added about 30 daily quests that available in the clan interface of PDA. Studied clan skills display in the special section “Clan Parameters”. At this moment, we added clan skill-tree designed for 5-6 levels, but we will increase the number of clan skills in the future.


In this version, we added two new revolvers: S&W .44 Magnum and S&W .500 Magnum.



S&W .44 Magnum is targeted to 25th level players and looks pretty good on this level.



S&W .500 Magnum is a first weapon in the game which targeted to 30th level players. It is a very powerful handgun that can make you wondered by eliminating enemies by one shot. Since .500 Magnum is a very strong caliber, this revolver requires 6 points of strength to use it.
Both revolvers are available at Canyon bases and from Karina in the Tunnels, however, ammunition for them is not on sale. Players should craft them.
