CHEMISTS: Dead Zone changes
🎉 “CHEMISTS: Dead Zone” — Early Access Release: July 10, 2026! 🎉
Yes, the game is now live on Steam — you can buy it and start playing right away. We’re being upfront: this is an Early Access title. The project will keep evolving, with new zones, mechanics, and bug fixes coming down the line. But we’ve packed the launch with plenty of content so you’ll have lots to do from the very first minutes.
From day one, the game will feature the major update 0.4.31 plus a lineup of special events:
“Chemists’ Birthday” Event — celebrating the 7th anniversary of the project.
“Summer Marathon” — a free Battle Pass with 100 levels and rewards at every stage.
Faction Ammo (PSF) — a dedicated ammo variant for each calibre, opening up new tactical options.
Reputation and XP Boosts — tripled reputation gains (x3) and a +50 % XP bonus to speed up progression.
Event Card Hunt — active collection of event cards throughout the summer.
Exclusive Weapons and Event Cards — available only during the event and nowhere else.
To make the launch even sweeter, the game will be 40 % off for the first two weeks.
We’ve hit 1,000 Wishlist entries — this is your support, and we’re truly grateful for it. Thank you for being with us on this journey! ❤️
Get ready for the Zone — we’ll meet you on July 10! 💥
