It's an exciting day! After Inc: Revival is launching out of Early Access today, and we are giving all players the Season 2 DLC pack for free!

1.0 releases right now!

New in 1.0

New Campaign: Seeds of Hope (Season 2 DLC Content)

New survivors discover a trail of death and destruction through the wastelands. As rumours spread of a cure, all hope falls upon the last remnant of Z Com…

  • Inhospitable Wastelands The land is dead, and nothing will grow. These desolate, unclaimable areas will challenge your Settlements' growth. Even your Fighters will be easily wounded! How will you handle the wastelands?
  • High-Yield Areas While other parts of the world die, some flourish. These special areas will provide double the resources! Use them to your advantage.
  • Outpost Traps Push back the zombie hordes. Keep your Settlement safe. This new outpost upgrade will kill zombies on its own! But be careful, these traps will need time to be repaired…
  • New Rewards Discounts on technology, upgrades to High-Yield Areas and more to be unlocked throughout your adventure in Seeds of Hope!
