DREADVEIL is a new round-based zombies survival game in development at Morvek Studio, an independent video game studio. We're targeting a 2027 release on PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox. The exact date will be announced later. DREADVEIL is in pre-alpha, and the details below may change before launch.
What kind of zombies game is DREADVEIL?
DREADVEIL is a first-person, round-based zombies game in the classic survive-the-rounds style. Every match starts with a pistol and nothing else. The horde grows tougher and faster each round, and there's no final round: the game keeps going past round 500 until the horde takes you.
- A dark Gothic setting: the first map is a large, abandoned medieval world built around a castle, with a village, cemetery, catacombs, cathedral and dungeons.
- Black Magic: Voodoo Dolls, Blood Rites and Ritual Blood let survivors bend a match in their favor.
- Demanding Easter eggs: each map hides a main Easter egg quest designed to challenge experienced Zombies players.
- Ranked Play (planned): competitive Easter egg speedruns where two teams race to finish the main quest first, from 1v1 up to 8v8.
- Weapon Kits: set attachments and camos before the match, and weapons you find arrive already fitted.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. DREADVEIL supports solo play, online matchmaking for duos, trios, squads and eight-player matches, and private lobbies with friends. Cross-play and cross-progression between PC, PlayStation and Xbox are planned.
Who is making DREADVEIL?
DREADVEIL is the first game from Morvek Studio (morvekstudio.com), an independent video game studio focused on first person action, competitive multiplayer and gameplay that rewards skill. The game is being built in Unreal Engine 5.
