I think that’s kind of where it all started.Īnd a question I get all the time is well, you know, is this just a zombie game? There’s been a lot of those. We wanted to say, okay, what if we could thematically link this whole thing together so that everything you’re doing propels the overall story forward in a way that still gives the player the freedom that they have come to expect from an open-world. So we thought to combine these together Trying to create a narrative-driven experience in an open-world setting is very challenging to do because it’s so easy for the player to be distracted by doing other activities in the world.

Some of them are marketable, and some of them aren’t. As a writer, I come up with a lot of ideas all the time and some of them were feasible, and some of them aren’t.

So we’re like sure, we’ll come up with an idea.
