Level Zero: Extraction’s Steam Early Access Release Delayed by One Week

Embark on dangerous explorations and dare to return – solo or with a team. Or play as an alien monster that can only be killed by light, and make sure no mortal escapes alive.

Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Level Zero: Extraction Is multiplayer extraction horror game, a unique approach to survival that combines the breathtaking tension of asymmetric horror with the high stakes of extraction shooters. Embark on a dangerous exploration expedition where 3 teams of up to 3 mercenaries compete for loot and dare to return. Or take on the role of two deadly alien monsters and hunt down human prey.

Go solo or with a squad and grab as much valuable loot as you can: weapons, gadgets, research data, crafting resources, and more. Your expedition time and inventory space are limited. You lose almost all of your loot if you die. Other mercenaries compete for valuable items and extraction points. And… Player-controlled aliens lurk in the shadows, determined to hunt you all down.

A slew of major game updates and alpha tests have been announced for August 6th — the date Doghowl had previously scheduled for the Early Access launch.

Taking into consideration, our team decided to give the game one more week so that we do not come into conflict with these heavyweights!

New Early Access Release Date on Steam Level Zero: Extraction Is August 13, 2024.

This Level Zero: Extraction Open beta introduced a number of new features and updates based on player feedback, including realistic military-grade weapons, contracts, and AI enemies for PvE gameplay. The Early Access launch will further expand on these improvements, as we have received thousands of completed player surveys over the past week.

Level Zero: Extraction features unique shooting, melee, movement, and health systems designed from the ground up to deliver an immersive survival experience. Blast your enemies with a vast arsenal of melee weapons like hammers, batons, and machetes, or engage in tense gunfights using pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, nail guns, flamethrowers, mines, grenades, and more.

Use the loot you mine to increase your reputation with several traders and earn better gear, as well as unique items. You can also gather resources to craft new tools at the Recycling/Crafting Station. Each of your firearms can be upgraded and customized with scopes, stocks, grips, and other attachments. Play as a human and a monster to level up and unlock new perks to develop your own playstyle. Create random mods to implant into your mercenary, or evolve your monster to then sell its DNA for in-game currency and reset your progress.

Survive no matter what. Work together, be a lone wolf, or betray other players. Use a wide range of gadgets like motion sensors, light traps, or remotes to your advantage and create useful tools on the go. Stay quiet and be aware of the heart rate that monsters can sense. If you die, you can still help your team by controlling a small reconnaissance drone that can ping enemies, use light switches, and stun monsters.

Light is the only thing that can kill the aliens, making any source of illumination both the ultimate weapon and a safe haven against them. As a mercenary, strategically use flares, light sticks, flashlights, and light traps throughout the map to scare away the monsters.

As a monster, use powerful alien abilities and team up with another player-controlled animal. Stay in the shadows, scan walls, set up living traps, crawl through vents, and emit a high-frequency scream to temporarily disable all light sources in the area. Make sure no mortals get out alive. Level up your animal, then sell it to scientists to reset your progress and earn in-game currency.
