SEATTLE – Aug. 13, 2024 – Publisher tinyBuild and developer DogHowl Games have launched Level Zero: Extraction, the new high-stakes multiplayer extraction game combining tactical FPS gameplay and immersive survival horror, on Steam Early Access. Play as teams of rival mercenaries fighting for loot or alien monsters hunting humans from the shadows in this darkly unique spin on asymmetrical PvPvE multiplayer featuring truly unpredictable action.
The Standard Edition of Level Zero: Extraction is available today for $19.99|€19.50|£16.75. Deluxe and Ultimate Editions are available, as well, offering a Supporter Pack containing in-game starter items, plus character outfits, a digital art book and the official soundtrack. All editions of the game will have a limited-time launch discount for the first two weeks.
“This is a very important day for our small yet extremely passionate team. We're equally excited and anxious to finally let players experience Level Zero: Extraction after years of hard work and pouring all our hearts into this project. Of course, this would not be possible without our community. I want to thank everyone who participated in our betas and playtests – your feedback has been and continues to be invaluable to us. Today the ship is leaving the harbor, and we look forward to evolving Level Zero: Extraction during the early access phase together with the community,” said Lex Pimenov, Game Director at DogHowl Games.
Developed in Unreal Engine 5 by Ukraine-based studio DogHowl Games, Level Zero: Extraction blends the heart-pounding tension of asymmetric survival horror with the high-stakes showdowns of extraction shooters to create a brand-new immersive multiplayer experience. Embark on dangerous scavenging raids – solo or with friends – where multiple mercenary teams compete for valuable loot, all while another two players hunt the humans from the shadows as deadly alien monsters that can only be killed with light.
Experienced by over 300,000 players earlier this year, Level Zero: Extraction’s hugely successful Open Beta was the second-most played demo during Steam Next Fest in June 2024. Debuting today with over 400,000 wishlists on Steam, the game will continue to evolve throughout early access with new features and improvements driven by community feedback.
Early Access Launch Features:
Two completely unique, team-based gameplay styles. Play as human mercenaries fighting over valuable loot – or as deadly alien monsters with out-of-this-world abilities who can only be killed by light
Two maps inspired by sci-fi horror movies – ‘Research Facility’ and ‘Caves of Turion’
Intense first-person firefights with immersive gunplay and melee mechanics
A wide variety of customizable weapons, cutting-edge gadgets and deadly alien abilities
Traders system where players can complete Contracts, increase their reputation and unlock new exciting items
Even more content and features to come in regular updates driven by player feedback
