Never Be Alone Release Date: December 8 Early Access
One date, one platform, one build that is not finished. Here is what December 8 actually gets you and what the studio has said about it.
Never Be Alone Console Status: PS5, Xbox and Mobile
The store lists Windows and nothing else. macOS and Linux are switched off, and no console or phone version has ever been mentioned.
Never Be Alone Demo: What the Free Build Includes
Free, permanent until launch, and big enough to answer the only question that matters: does this survival loop hold you for an evening.
Never Be Alone Guide: Surviving Your First Hours
You wake up in a settlement that cannot afford to carry you. The first two hours are about becoming useful before becoming ambitious.
Never Be Alone Price: No Number Has Been Announced
There is no price. Not a hidden one, not a regional one, not a placeholder the store forgot to hide. The field is empty, and the demo is free.
Never Be Alone Co-op: Hosting, Limits and Loot
The store's phrasing is deliberate: as many players as the host computer can handle. That is a technical limit wearing a marketing sentence.
Zombie survival
What is Never Be Alone?
Never Be Alone is an open-world zombie survival game set ten years after an outbreak, played solo or in seamless co-op. You wake from a six-month coma inside an isolated safezone with no memory of your past, and the settlement's survival depends on what you bring back from beyond the walls.
The campaign is fully voiced, with more than 1,000 lines of voice acting and over 30 main missions across three islands. Missions adapt to your choices, the weather, the time of day and the survivors you rescue or leave behind, so two groups rarely see the same story.
