The MMO space has evolved a great deal in the past several years, taking us from stifling top down dungeon crawlers to rich worlds full of vivid colors and thriving environments. Even the sub-genres have expanded into numerous and strange categories, each designed to appeal to a certain type of fan. With the launch of Ark: Survival Evolved back in 2017 the survival style MMO has become a market that many argue is over-saturated. That being said, what does it take to stand out in a genre of titans?
Population Zero attempts to answer that question by throwing players into a world that's able to think for itself and respond to the actions of other players.
"The events of Population Zero take place on an alien planet truly unknown. You must discover how this world will defend itself against any invader. Player skill is matched against a whole world. Creatures new and unimaginable await around every turn. They will become new resources for the player, but deadly enemies. Hunting and gathering come at a price though as the planet’s biorhythms are balanced and unique. Players must keep track of themselves as well as others in the game when interacting with all forms of life."
Population Zero is currently in Alpha. For more information about this beautiful re-imagining of the survival MMO, click here.
