Düren, Germany - July 31, 2024 — Developer Silent Dreams and publisher Headup today are announcing the upcoming release of Dead Age 2 for consoles. Headup will publish the tactical zombie survival game for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on August 8, 2024.
Dead Age 2 is a unique combination of survival, management, rogue-like elements, fast turn-based combat, classic role-playing gameplay, and a story in which your decisions directly affect plot progression!
It’s ten years after the zombie apocalypse, and your group has made camp in Freedom City, rumored to be the birthplace of a cure for the zombie plague.
