This latest trailer delves deeper into the dire realities that players will encounter in Persist Online. They will face a relentless battle for survival in a post-apocalyptic world filled with deadly threats at every turn. The pre-alpha gameplay footage highlights the vast and varied landscapes of the open world that players can explore and offers a sneak peek at the game's skill system. Persist Online is a true old-school MMORPG, created by the genre pioneers at CipSoft, who, in 1997, introduced Tibia, one the first MMORPGs ever.

Key Features of Persist Online:
 
  • Masses of Players and Zombies: Join forces with other survivors to keep the zombies at bay and take on mutated bosses in a sprawling open world. In this persistent online world, without instances, hundreds of players can enjoy (and survive) this harsh environment together.
  • Friends, Foes, and Temporary Allies: Exercise caution against other players looking for some PvP action, or team up and form guilds to defend strategically important locations, amassing resources quicker. Friendly fire is also engaged, so look out for that, too!
  • Boomsticks, Frying Pans, and Fishing Nets: Fend off foes (zombies or other players) with a variety of looted or crafted weapons, which can each be upgraded. Melee the undead with a sturdy frying pan, blast them to smithereens with a powerful shotgun, or put points into the fishing skill into the skill tree and give the fishing net the ability to paralyze enemies.
  • An Unforgiving Open World: This world isn’t just big; it’s also big on ​​details. Every building is accessible, and a dynamic day and night cycle ​​ can have a genuine impact on gameplay.

Persist Online will be released on Windows, macOS, and Linux via Steam. Add the game to your wishlist now.To stay up to date on all things related to Persist Online, join the official Discord and subscribe to the newsletter at persist.online. For more information, follow the game on X and YouTube.
