MAY19 STUDIO is developing and publishing THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival, an open-world zombie survival game set to enter early access on Steam on October 23. It supports Japanese and online co-op for up to four players, with pricing undecided. Players gather resources, craft equipment, and build bases while managing hunger, thirst, and stamina, and zombies grow more ferocious as the fog thickens.
