Rooted is an upcoming survival game where you eke out a survivor’s life in a world ruined by bacterial weapons. Read on to learn how it plays, what it's about, and everything else we know so far.
Everything We Know About Rooted
Rooted Story Plot
Rooted is a post-apocalyptic survival game set a century after a devastating global conflict that shattered society through bacteriological warfare. Now, survivors are emerging from hiding, ready to reclaim the world and rebuild in the ruins of fallen cities and villages. While nature has slowly healed the land, making some areas safe again, the urban sprawl remains perilous. As you explore these dangerous remnants of the old world, you'll need to tread carefully and keep your visits brief—lest you meet the same fate as those who perished before.
Rooted Gameplay
Not much has been revealed about Rooted’s unique mechanics and features, but the core gameplay loop is familiar to fans of the genre. Players will gather and refine resources to build camps or settlements, though on a more grassroots scale compared to other survival games. Unlike games like Night of the Dead or Sons of the Forest, base-building in Rooted is less central to the experience, as there are no hordes of zombies to fend off.
Instead, Rooted focuses on exploration and scavenging, immersing players in a desolate yet ever-evolving world. The true challenge lies in navigating this environment, discovering what can be salvaged, and surviving the harsh realities of post-apocalyptic life. While enemies are limited to animals and mysterious "creatures made of steel," combat is optional, making Rooted a more laid-back—but still dangerous—survival experience. Players can explore at their own pace, knowing that there’s always something new to uncover in this constantly changing world.
