The global test will run for 8 days, from today until March 3, targeting global users on both PC and mobile platforms. The PC version can be accessed through the ‘Steam Next Fest’ on the global gaming platform Steam, while the mobile version is available on Google Play and the App Store.

During this test, players can experience the early story mode and three key multiplayer modes that were initially introduced to Korean users and received outstanding feedback during the closed beta test (CBT). Given their popularity, these modes – ‘4-Player Cooperative Defense’, ‘32-Player Cooperative Boss Raid’, and ‘Conflict Zone’ - will now be presented to global survivors for the first time.

‘Darkest Days’ unfolds its narrative in the ravaged world of ‘Sand Creek’, where survivors encounter diverse community members and grow together. Players will face off against a wide range of zombies, from standard foes to formidable special variants, through various multiplayer modes.

In the Cooperative Defense mode, players will collaborate to repel waves of attacking zombies, while the Cooperative Raid mode enables up to 32 players to join forces to take down powerful bosses. In stark contrast to the desolate environment of Sand Creek, the ‘Conflict Zone’ offers a snowy landscape where players can freely farm resources, engage in combat, and participate in PVP battles with other survivors, either solo or in parties of up to four members. During the global test period, trading and payment functionalities will be restricted, and all account information will be reset before the official launch.

To celebrate the global test, ‘Darkest Days’ is hosting various in-game events. Survivors can earn essential survival items, such as military trucks, through attendance rewards. Additionally, completing missions and leveling up will grant players guaranteed rewards, including Trinity Coins for purchasing residents and mounts, as well as SR-rank armor. Community events are also being held simultaneously across official communities like Facebook, X, and Discord.

Following the global test, NHN aims to launch the Open Beta Test (OBT) for ‘Darkest Days’ by the end of the first quarter of this year. Pre-registration for the OBT is currently available on the official website and app markets.

For the latest updates on ‘Darkest Days’, players can subscribe to the newsletter on the official website, sign up for pre-registration, and add the game to their Steam wishlist.
