A coming survival MMO on Steam features Will Smith as a legendary survivor, teaching players how to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
What kind of game is this? Undawn (Mobile, PC) is a survival MMO developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studios – a development studio that is part of the Chinese company Tencent.
You take on the role of one of the last survivors of a zombie apocalypse and join the so-called “Raven Squad”.
As typical for a survival game, your goal is survival. You gather supplies and weapons, acquire vehicles, and fight zombies as well as other players.
How does one intend to redefine the genre? Already in 2021, the developers announced that they aim to create “a new kind of action game” with Undawn. They want to mix the freedoms of an open world with RPG elements and thereby “redefine the genre.”
However, how these elements will be mixed to redefine the genre is still unknown.
What’s the deal with Will Smith? Undawn has released a new cinematic trailer featuring Hollywood actor Will Smith.
Will Smith is known for movies like “Men in Black,” “Hancock,” and “Independence Day.” However, especially the setting of “I am Legend” reminds of the survival MMO.
In Undawn, Will Smith plays the role of “Trey Jones,” who prepares players for their journey and survival in the post-apocalyptic world, according to the video description.
