- CrisisX is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2026
- A new Gamescom trailer reveals deeper gameplay mechanics and survival elements
- Players can craft everything from advanced assault rifles to fully operational tanks
If you’ve been craving more intense zombie combat and strategic base-building, the wait is nearly over. Hero Games has confirmed that CrisisX, their upcoming open-world survival-crafting title, will launch in Q2 2026. The announcement arrived alongside a brand-new Gamescom trailer, giving fans a fresh glimpse into the action.
As expected from the genre, CrisisX blends mechanics familiar to open-world survival enthusiasts. Beyond scavenging for loot and battling zombies and mutants, you’ll gather resources to construct and fortify your base, ensuring your survival—and eventual dominance.
The latest Gamescom footage expands on what we've seen so far, but behind-the-scenes updates introduce even more exciting possibilities. Well-equipped players may eventually command armored vehicles like the M2 Bradley or even the historic M4 Sherman tank from World War II.
Precise and powerful combat
While Once Human has gained attention by proving NetEase’s ability to deliver a compelling cross-platform experience, CrisisX carves its own niche with a more grounded, realistic setting. Its weaponry and equipment feel authentic and distinct compared to the supernatural elements seen in Once Human.
Combine that with classic survival mechanics—managing thirst, hunger, and health—alongside seemingly limitless crafting options, and it’s clear why many players are eager to get their hands on CrisisX and put its gameplay to the test.
