'Undawn', A New Open World Survival Shooter Game From Garena
JAKARTA - Battle-royale-themed games still have big fans. Not only in Indonesia, but also in other countries. The excitement of the shootout action as well as the thrilling nuances of survival proved to be a successful formula to make players addicted.
So, what if the formula is combined with the survival mode of The Walking Dead movie? Surely it could be an interesting offer in the middle of such battle-royale gameplay, right?
And that type of game is offered by Undawn, a new battle-royale game developed by the studio that is famous for PUBG Mobile, namely Lightspeed and Quantum Studios.
Cited from BGR, the Shenzhen-based game development studio plans to launch its new title by the end of 2021. This time, the studio partnered with Garena as a game publisher.
The Gameplay
In the world of entertainment, zombie apocalypse, or apocalypse caused by the attack of a deadly virus that turns all humans into zombies, is nothing new. We can find hundreds of game titles that use the background of this story.
Like wanting to repeat the success of Resident Evil but with a different concept, Undawn uses the background. A world where human civilization ends in a zombie attack.
Indeed, from the posters and trailers that have been spread, we can find many similarities between Undawn and PUBG Mobile. In fact, according to leaks from the company, the gameplay offered is not the same!
Instead of surviving from other players in a competitive atmosphere, you, as a player, are required to survive a zombie attack. Same as The Walking Dead, you can build bases, collect resources, and make friends to survive with.
Not only that, but Undawn also offers a more varied experience. So, players are not only asked to survive against the backdrop of an abandoned city –a picture we often encounter from zombie movies. Players can also experience the feel of survival in the middle of life. But, with the same enemy.

Citing the FAQ page of Undawn's official website, the game is planned to be played on a variety of platforms. This means that all players can play with players from other platforms. However, until now there has been no official information regarding what platforms can support the game.
Luckily, a few leaks related to the engine used can make fans optimistic about the game. As Inside Sport reported, developers rely on the Unreal 4 engine in the development of the game.
For information, the engine has also been used in some popular game titles. Like Fortnite: Battle Royale, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Street Fighter V, to the most famous Final Fantasy VII Remake.
This means that detailed 3D graphics with amazing effects will be offered by the game. Considering other titles that use such machines have almost the same characteristics.
