Official trailer

Your car is your lifeline

A broken vehicle can mean the end of your journey. Manage your fuel, repair damaged parts, and keep your car running as you travel deeper into the unknown. Scavenge for replacement parts and supplies before you must continue on foot.

Loot, fight, survive

Search abandoned buildings for food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, fuel, and valuable equipment. The infected are not the only threat. Hostile survivors roam the world too, so you decide when to fight, when to avoid danger, and when to get back on the road.

No two journeys are the same

Every new game generates a new world with different roads, towns, forests, loot locations, and encounters. Exploration feels fresh every time you start a new game.
