Post-apocalyptic deckbuilding RPG The Dead Await gets full release this month

Post-apocalyptic deckbuilding RPG The Dead Await will get its full release this month.

Revealed today, the game’s full release will come on May 18 on PC via Steam. The game launched in Early Access back in October 2024. A release date trailer can be seen below.

A synopsis for The Dead Await reads:

The Dead Await is a deck-building open world survival RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. The world as we know it ended, torn apart by hordes of ravenous monsters. Humanity still clings on in the sea of blackened ruins, cold ashes, and man-eating creatures.

You're the leader of a caravan of survivalists whose goal is to figure out the truth behind the zombie apocalypse and, if possible, build the foundations for a new civilization! But be careful: Zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove the greatest obstacles during your long drive...

Key features include:

Deck-Building Mechanics: Collect and customize a deck of cards to enhance your survival tactics.

Open World Exploration: Traverse a sprawling landscape filled with danger, opportunity, and mystery.

Resource Management: Balance food, water, gear, and sanity to keep your caravan alive.

Character Development: Customize your survivor with attributes, skills, and perks for a tailored gameplay experience.

Strategic Combat: Engage in sophisticated card-based battles against zombies and rival humans.

The Dead Await can be wishlisted on Steam here.
