The PvPvE extraction genre is an interesting one. You’re left to your own devices in an expansive landscape, usually with minimal gear, and you need to get out alive with as much loot as you can possibly carry. With both human enemies and demonic entities threatening your survival and the loss of your inventory threatening real consequences of death, there’s so much potential for thrilling, non-stop gameplay – yet the genre is often overlooked. This Halloween, we get our first taste of a dark new PvPvE experience that is set to revive the genre as World of the Dead combines PvP, environmental threats, FPS gameplay, survival, crafting, and eldritch horror – and a Steam demo is available right now.
