An intense new gameplay trailer has been released for upcoming retro survival horror title ‘Ground Zero'.
The game comes from Kwalee, the UK-based games publisher, and independent developer Malformation Games. The trailer offers a chilling glimpse into the game's haunting setting, the city of Busan, now plunged into chaos following a catastrophic meteor strike. Watch it below:
As darkness consumes the once thriving metropolis, players will navigate a world overrun by mutated horrors and environmental destruction. The trailer also highlights some of the weapons and survival tools available in the player's arsenal, providing a first look at how players will defend themselves and adapt to the unforgiving post-apocalyptic landscape.
Set in a devastated South Korea, Ground Zero challenges players to uncover the truth behind the mysterious meteor impact that has reduced the nation to ruins and transformed every living thing into a monstrous threat. Atmospheric, brutal and steeped in tension, the game promises a gripping survival horror experience rooted in classic genre sensibilities.
A devastating meteor impact has wiped out South Korea. 2 months later as the dust and lightning storms settle and the air becomes breathable, an elite Korean operative and her Canadian partner are sent to investigate. What waits for them in the foggy remains is more terrifying than they ever could have imagined…
Key Features:
- Fight terrifying monsters that lurk in the dark corners of Busan, mutated by the fallout of the impact.
- Uncover the truth of what really hit Busan that day. What are these strange growths unravelling from the meteor impact, and why has it corrupted what little life remains in the aftermath?
- Explore a beautiful city in ruins, from shoreline towns and temples to the urban center.
- Defend yourself with an array of abilities; shoot, stab, kick and counter as an expert soldier trained in firearm and martial combat.
- Perfect your fighting skills and get rewarded. Cleaner kills means more Genome Points, which can be traded for powerful gear upgrades.
