What content will be available?

In this demo, you’ll have access to the HUB and to the first Act of the game, which includes the tutorial mission and the first mission. Your playtime is not limited, and the missions available will be infinitely replayable.

  • Tutorial - The Drop: A skippable intro mission to get you familiar with the controls, mechanics, and core features. Note that the first time you’ll play the demo, this tutorial mission will only be playable in solo.
  • The Drop: Once you completed (or skipped) the tutorial one time, you’ll have access to the mission again, this time playable in co-op.
  • Church of the Damned: This mission is fully playable in solo and co-op.
  • Leon’s Base: This is the HUB area. It will be accessible after the completion of the tutorial. It's a safe zone where you can customize your character, change your loadout, try the shooting range, and prepare for your next mission. You’ll be able to join other players in their HUB, or let them join you in yours.

Progression Limitations

We want you to enjoy the demo, but we also don't want to spoil the full experience! Here's what's capped:

  • Class Level Cap: All 4 playable Classes will be locked at Level 5. You'll only experience a limited selection of the full skill trees and abilities available in the final game.
  • Weapon Accessibility: All weapons provided in the demo content are fully accessible and have no level restrictions.
  • Difficulty Levels: You can access all four difficulty levels (Story, Normal, Hard and Very Hard) in the demo, but note that you’ll have to unlock the Very Hard difficulty by completing the Hard difficulty before.

Save Files

Any Save files created during the demo will not carry over to the full version of the game. That means any progression you acquire in the demo will not transfer when the full game launches.

Playing with Random Players (Matchmaking):

1. Visit Leon in the HUB, or go to the “Play” tab. 2. Choose your desired mission, difficulty, and class. 3. Start the search; the matchmaking system will automatically pair you with players based on your criteria. 4. Alternatively, select "Quick Game" for a rapid match with randomized settings if the specific parameters don't matter to you.

Playing with Friends:

1. Go to the "Social" menu, or click the “+” icon on the top-right corner of the pause menu 2. In the "Friends" tab, find your invite code (press "V" by default on the right side of the screen). Players who are already friends on Steam can be invited directly. 3. Share this code with your friends. 4. Your friends must enter the code in the same menu by pressing "Join by code" ("J" by default). 5. Once your friends have joined your session, you can select a mission and begin mauling zombies! Note that you can also join an ongoing game to directly jump into the action. 6. (optional) If your party is not complete, you can select the option “Private Game” in the “Play” tab if you don’t want to play with other players. Bots will fill the remaining places.
