Introduction

Gray Zone has been released on April 30th, 2020 in a form of early access on Steam.

"Why early access?", you may ask. Well, there are multiple reasons behind this decision. Number one reason is the opportunity for players to test & taste the game before we declare it a finished product.

Secondly, players are very good at finding bugs too. Everyone has a different system and a different playstyle. Combination of both leads to situations impossible for us to replicate in our small team. Their feedback is invaluable.

We also encourage our players to share their ideas with us. If the idea align with our vision, we consider an implementation.

Enough words, let's take a look at the content we've made over last four months.

Free demo

The latest and the hottest news about Gray Zone is publicly available FREE DEMO on Steam.

The demo contains first story mission of the full game and a skirmish mission in a style closer to a sandbox. There will be a short introduction explaining the background of the story. You will discover some of the core game mechanics with a help of interactive tutorials. Take a role of our main character Valern and make the first steps on his epic journey through Deleon.

Skirmish

First big addition to the Gray Zone is a Skirmish mode outside of the main story missions. But it's no ordinary skirmish you might have experienced in other RTS games. The first skirmish scenario sets the player into a very difficult situation. You can read more about it here.
