A new open-world RPG called DREADZONE is on the way, and it looks like a mix between Fallout and Far Cry. The game will launch in early access on July 17, 2025, and promises a large, dangerous world to explore.
DREADZONE combines Far Cry’s survival gameplay with the apocalyptic setting of Fallout, giving players a familiar yet fresh experience. The game is set in a deadly quarantine zone, where players must scavenge for supplies, craft tools, build shelters, and fight to stay alive. Threats include wild animals, zombies, mutants, and hostile survivors.
Players can expect classic survival features like hunting, gathering resources, building bases, and venturing into dangerous areas for better loot.
However, there’s one important thing to know: DREADZONE uses generative AI in its development. The game’s Steam page clearly states this, and the cinematic parts of the trailer also show signs of AI-generated content. While the game itself might have solid gameplay, players who prefer traditional development should keep this in mind before supporting it.
DREADZONE looks promising for fans of survival RPGs but comes with the ongoing debate around AI in gaming. Interested players should check the Steam page carefully before making a decision.
