Greetings Hunters, It’s finally time to board the train to Zakov City because [b]ZERO Sievert version 1.0[/b] is now available on PC Steam as we officially leave Early Access! 1.0 also brings a plethora of new additions including a brand new city map, deadly new weapons, hunter skills to level up, and much more! Check out the launch trailer below: [previewyoutube=yjqkNY_SRQ4;full][/previewyoutube] [quote]ZERO Sievert is a tense, top-down, post-apocalyptic survival shooter that challenges players to scavenge, fight, and survive in a dangerous, procedurally generated wasteland. You must head out on excursions into the wild to scavenge supplies, take out enemies and get safely back to the bunker - and be warned; the nuclear fallout may have impacted some of the local wildlife…. Multiple questlines will guide you through the world of ZERO Sievert. As you journey through, you’ll slowly unravel information and lore about the devastated world that’s been left behind. There are more than 100 different items to loot which can be used to craft new items, upgrade your own base, and trade.[/quote] Make sure to follow our official channels on [url=https://x.com/ZeroSievert]Twitter/X[/url] and [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@modernwolf_]TikTok[/url] to keep up to date with all things ZERO Sievert.
