7 Days to Die and 11 Years in Early Access
7 Days to Die has finally left early access after 11 years with this most recent version 1.0 update for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on Thursday, July 25. The road to release might have been long, but The Fun Pimps founder Richard Huenink sounds proud and excited as he talks about the official release in their latest video. He makes sure to mention there are many updates still planned for the future, including those highlighted in the Kickstarter campaign launched in 2021.
According to a quote from the official blog, this new release has a “wealth of new content, innovative new features, polish, transformative quality-of-life improvements, optimizations, and revolutionary gameplay systems.” The price update for the game will now be $44.99 USD. Those who already own the legacy edition originally published by Telltale on the console will be able to purchase the new game on current consoles for a negotiated 25% off for 30 days after launch. The old edition of the game has been delisted from Sony’s and Microsoft’s stores to eliminate confusion however, gamers who already have the game will still be able to play it, although developers are going to be focusing on updating the current console edition.
7 Days to Die is a zombie “first-person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and role-playing games” in a destructible sandbox world that gives you the ability to build anywhere. Reviews of the game have been positive but not stellar since the release of the game nearly 12 years ago, but gamers are currently pretty pleased with the game as it currently sits at 6,728 “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. The general consensus is that it might not be groundbreaking, but if it fits your tastes, it can be easy to put a large amount of hours into the game. If 7 Days to Die has been on your radar over the past few years, now is a great time to dive in!
