Steam zombie survival horror finally departs early access after 10 long years

For any video game to realise its full potential, it’s not the best philosophy to rush any project and the title that is the topic of today’s discussion is a prime example of that prospect.

The open-world survival genre is more packed than any horde seen in AMC’sThe Walking Deadand it’s difficult to stand out from the crowd especially when it’s competing with the likes ofMinecraft,ValheimandDayZto name a few.

Check out the7 Days to Die: Alpha Exodusdev diary below!

One game that initially struggled to stand out from the crowd is7 Days to Diewhich was originally released in 2013 onPCas an early access title.7 Days to Diedid receive a poorly-received port onPlayStation4 andXboxOne in 2016 which has a woeful Metacriticscoreof 45 and 35, respectively.

To no surprise whatsoever, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports have been long abandoned asindiedeveloper The Fun Pimps have been hard at work for over a decade in the hope that7 Days to Diewould finally become the game it was intended to be.

Unlike the poorly received console version of7 Days to Die, the PC version of the game currently has animpressive ratingof ‘Very Positive’ on Steam, indicating that this is the definitive way to experience the survival title. Now, after over a decade,7 Days to Dieis leaving Steam early access as it shuffles to its full release.

As a result of7 Days to Dieleaving early access, the price of the game will soon increase so you might want to act fast and purchase the game ASAP if you haven’t already. The price of7 Days to Dieis said to increase at the end of this month.
