Undawn Story and Plot

Image

In the future, humanity comes across a mysterious meteorite shard inside a relic. This shard contains a special element that leads to a technological breakthrough for bionic technology and genetic medical treatments. But little does humanity know that the element would soon destroy their society. The zombies come, bringing about the end of civilization.

But not all hope is lost. Somewhere on the continent's west coast, a group of survivors called the Raven Squad put up a place of refuge for the remnants of humanity. After years of hardship, Raven Shelter becomes a prosperous shelter that grows every day. But the zombie threat remains, with the infected undergoing a new round of mutations, while bandits and thugs roam the lands, looking for easy loot.

That’s where you - a new arrival at Raven Shelter - come in. Work for the shelter, help smaller outposts and survive in the wilderness, all while duking it out with monstrous abominations and humans who have lost themselves to banditry and greed.

Undawn Gameplay

Image

Undawn is an online multiplayer survival game, which means your character has to maintain different needs to keep living, like food, sleep, hygiene, and mental health. For example, while you’re scrounging around for resources in the outside world, you’ll have to also find areas to set up camp, cook food, and even use the toilet.

As you explore the wasteland, you’ll come across vehicles, different weapons, and NPC who will give you missions. The world is also scattered with settlements where you can rest and gather supplies. Aside from Raven Shelter, there are smaller outposts out in the world where you can rest as well. You can even construct your own homes with other players.

So far, Undawn looks a lot like a multiplayer version of another survival game, State of Decay, where you’re supposed to fight with the undead while still taking care of your health and settlement. We don’t know if the game will feature PVP, but it’s a possibility since the game also plays a lot like your typical battle royale game.
