Press release:
SEATTLE – February 21st, 2024.
The Bellevue-based (Washington, the US) indie games publisher tinyBuild amd Ukraine-based indie games developer DOGHOWL Games, are today very thrilled and proud to announce that their sci-fi survival/action horror game “Level Zero: Extraction” (previously known as “Level Zero”), is coming to PC via Steam in 2024.

Furthermore, tinyBuild and DogHowl Games has also just announced that they are going to conduct a closed beta test section for “Level Zero: Extraction” via Steam starting March 15th, 2024.

A brand-new gameplay trailer has also been revealed, highlighting its unique gameplay formula blending sci-fi survival horror with the thrill of high-stakes extraction shooters.

Developed on Unreal Engine 5 by small but ambitious Ukraine-based studio DogHowl Games, Level Zero: Extraction is a new, original take on multiplayer survival horror. Players will embark on dangerous scavenging expeditions where three teams of up to three mercenaries compete for valuable loot. Meanwhile, another two players will take on the role of deadly alien monsters, hunting the humans from the shadows.

Key Pillars:

Asymmetric multiplayer extraction horror is a brand-new take on the genre – creating a totally unique experience.
Play as human mercenaries fighting over valuable loot – or as deadly alien monsters in high-stakes PvPvE battles.
Immersive first-person combat with realistic gunplay and melee mechanics, as well as health, animation, and movement systems.
Vast arsenal of weapons and gadgets to help humans survive: rifles, shotguns, flamethrowers, nail guns, pistols, grenades, mines, motion sensors, traps, remote controls, flares, hammers, machetes, and more.
Hunt humans with out-of-this-world alien abilities, including acid spit, live traps, vent crawling, EMP screams, heartbeat scans, and more.
Deep progression system with dozens of new perks, items, and weapon attachments to unlock.
Aliens can only be killed with light – this unique gameplay mechanic allows humans to strategically use light sources across the map to stave off monsters.

Level Zero: Extraction launches into Steam Early Access in 2024, but you can get an early taste of the action during Closed Beta starting March 15. Wishlist the game on Steam and follow along on X to stay up to date with all the latest announcements.
