Welcome to Ground Zero’s Nightmare

Ground Zero brings retro survival horror to the Xbox Series, thrusting players into the aftermath of a catastrophic meteor impact in South Korea. As two operatives, one Korean and the other Canadian, journey through the haunting ruins of Busan, they face grotesque monstrosities and uncover horrifying truths about their world. Set two months post-disaster, the mission unfolds in a land now enveloped in fog and danger.

Explore the Desolate Ruins of Busan

The atmosphere in Ground Zero is thick with tension as players navigate a beautifully rendered city in disarray. The game takes players through diverse environments—shores, temples, and the urban heart of Busan—each filled with echoes of a once-thriving culture. As you traverse this haunting landscape, every corner hides secrets that challenge perceptions of life and survival.

Combat Against Horrors of the Apocalypse

Survival requires mastery of combat mechanics. Players engage nightmarish foes using a range of abilities, including shooting, knife combat, and agile counters. The protagonist, Seo-Yeon, is trained in both firearms and martial arts, allowing players to choose different styles of engagement. Learning to dispatch enemies efficiently results in cleaner kills, rewarding players with Genome Points for gear upgrades.

Face the Terrifying Boss Encounters

Every turn could lead to an intense encounter with formidable bosses lurking in the depths of the city. Players will quickly discover the mutations that plague Busan are far worse than they anticipated. Each boss encounter demands strategy and skill, testing the player's combat prowess in new and unexpected ways that can completely shift the gameplay experience.

Rediscover Classic Survival Horror Elements

Ground Zero pays homage to classic survival horror titles with its use of fixed camera angles and pre-rendered backgrounds. Puzzle-solving is integral to the gameplay, demanding both analytical thinking and exploration. The option for tank controls adds an extra layer of challenge, appealing to a nostalgic audience craving a return to traditional gameplay mechanics.

Hunt for Unlockables and Hidden Content

Curiosity is rewarded in Ground Zero. Unlockables, including alternate outfits and additional game modes, create an incentive for players to explore every nook and cranny. With multiple hidden endings, players can replay the game to uncover all its mysteries, enhancing the longevity and depth of the experience.

Prepare for the Unexpected

Survivors in this post-apocalyptic world must always be on guard; danger lurks around every corner. As the line blurs between friend and foe, players are thrust into a narrative filled with moral dilemmas and tough choices. The revelations from their investigation could challenge everything they believe about the disaster and what truly remains of humanity.
