Tjena, Survivors! Well, we made it. Active development on Generation Zero is done, we've wrapped it up. GZ has been such an amazing project, an incredible world, and an absolute blast of a game that we're profoundly proud to be a part of. We’re so thankful to our team that dedicated themselves to build Östertörn, FNIX, and its deadly machines. This unique setting, story, and experience were brought to life thanks to a strong creative vision and unwavering efforts. Over nearly six years since launch, the game has continued to grow, and we're in awe of the shape it's taken. Not only did the stor

Greetings Survivors! Before we left for the winter break, you may have seen us mention that we were looking into a few changes to the Showdown Update that would address some of the feedback we saw from the community after its release. This Hotfix is now available to our players on Steam, and will roll out for console players very soon. While the changes to Base Defense and the introduction of the new resources tested well with our smaller beta testing group, it's clear that it didn't quite land with the wider playerbase in the way we expected. We saw and listened to your feedback and we are ha

Crush your friends with snowballs and topple them over! If you're feeling brave, you could assault your neighborhood machine too. What's the worst that can happen? ☃️ Mounds of snow can be found all over the map. Just grab a snowball and throw away. But if you're not into it, you can opt out of the snowball fight in your game options.

An alternate history 1980s Sweden where giant robots have taken over the countryside is, frankly, the last place I'd expect a survival FPS game to be set. And yet, Generation Zero has been home to just that since 2019. With so many survival games coming and going in recent years, Generation Zero has firmly planted itself as one of the best and most-supported entries in the genre. Sadly, however, the game's last update is about to drop. But there's a blessing disguised in that news, because this last patch makes some great changes, all to the tune of an 80% off sale. Read the rest of the story.

Greetings, Survivors! The day has almost come – the Showdown is just 24 hours away. In this update, you will collect new Experimental weapons, perfect your item crafting, and face off against FNIX one last time. We’re extremely proud of what we’ve achieved with our small team within a comparatively short amount of time and we can’t wait to hear what you think about it! Let’s get right into what you can expect from tomorrow’s update: New Features New Story Missions {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32937622/e54182eb9dd640179e1c36e9da21331a44a117ca.jpg Team up with old friends and even a new one as you look in

Ever since we released Generation Zero almost six years ago, we’ve been working tirelessly to refine its successes and improve upon its shortcomings. We added new Machines, Bosses, repeatable missions, vehicles, and weapons. To make the world more detailed and even more engaging, we revamped hundreds of locations and reworked the mission flow. On top of all of this, we kept improving the performance and stability, leading to both of them being at an all time high now (due in no small part to your help!). As a show of appreciation for the thousands of hours of work, an unending well of passion,

At a time where many new, high-profile multiplayer games have struggled to find their feet, it's refreshing to remind yourself of some of the quieter, underrated games that have weathered the live service storms and survived thanks to a modest but dedicated community. Step up Generation Zero, an underappreciated co-op survival shooter that released just before the turn of the decade and has been supported with updates, DLCs and expansions for around six years now. Well, all good things must come to an end, and developer Systemic Reaction has just confirmed that support for Generation Zero is w

Greetings, Survivors! It’s been a while since we released the August 2024 Update, and many of you have been asking what’s next. Well, we’re here to answer that question today. Over the past six years, we’ve added tons of new features and content to Generation Zero; Base Building introduced a home to customize and defend, Soviet Machines joined the fray as a new faction, the Companion helped us stand up to the enemy, and the Vulture posed a formidable new threat. In turn, you’ve spent the last six years destroying machines, hunting Rivals, and keeping the Resistance alive. We’re truly honored t

Greetings! Today’s Resistance Report will be a short one as there isn’t much I can talk about yet and it’s currently 4:30PM on a Friday (me writing this at this time also has to do with things I can’t talk about). However, I do want to use this opportunity to show a sign of life and let you know that we’re working on the next update in full force! Our timelines are on track, the designers are designing, programmers are coding, and QA testers are uncovering more bugs than a 12 year old me in the forest on a wednesday afternoon. I know you don’t like it when I say this, but we’ll have more infor

Greetings, Survivors! I’m writing this Resistance Report on a Thursday because I’ll be in Oslo tomorrow. Today's letter isn’t going to be super long, I don’t want to pad these with too much fluff if there isn’t something to say. Let’s get right to it: August 2024 Update We’ve received tons of feedback about our last update, released only on Steam so far. The majority of players are seeing increased frame rates – which is awesome! That’s what we were hoping for. However, some players have also experienced worse frame rates than before. We’re looking into this and doing our best to make sure thi

Greetings, Survivors! It is a pleasure to be back and writing the Resistance Report once again. You know I try my best to prioritize them, but sometimes things get hectic all of a sudden and I have to focus on other things. Who am I kidding, things are always hectic, but sometimes more so than others. These last few weeks in particular, though, our devs and I engaged in what is known as the Great Summer Break™. This is a time each summer when we put in our vacation days and spend valuable and well-deserved time with our families and recharging before we get back into the fray. I myself took tw

Greetings, Survivors! We've just released a hotfix for the August 2024 Update. It contains various crash fixes and solves two display issues relating to the Companion. We've also read several reports that players are once again unable to remove the Companion from their storage box. It turns out the fix for this issue was accidentally reversed in the last update, so we've re-reversed it. Thanks for reporting. Enjoy! Bug Fixes Companion Fixed an issue where only the Runner Module would be selectable in the Companion Station. Prevented the Companion's texture from disappearing when switching pain
