A Dystopian Survival RPG
It is the late 21st century. Unchecked capitalism, technological hubris, and biological warfare have pushed humanity to the brink. The world is consumed by Von Aegis Syndrome (VAS) — a plague engineered in the shadows of corporate greed.
You are a Newborn. Born immune. Born into a world of ash and silence. You are the last genetic anomaly standing between extinction and rebirth.
But AXIOM — the sinister organization that controls what's left of civilization — will not let power slip through its fingers. Not without a fight.
Face Aegisborn mutants, AXIOM operatives, military drones, and robotic enforcers. Every encounter is life or death. Dismemberment, blood, and consequence.
Construct your stronghold from scrap to fortress. Upgrade through 7 tiers of base complexity — from a basic shelter to a fully automated mega-structure.
Dynamic infection spreads through survivors. Use rapid testing kits. Make hard choices. Search for a cure. Manage symptoms before they become a death sentence.
Explore desolate wastelands, ghost cities, infected zones, military bastions, and hidden laboratories across a vast, ever-growing map.
From improvised clubs to futuristic weaponry. Craft weapons, armor, medicine, and gear. Everything you need to wage war against those who profit from death.
Face this hostile world with friends. Team up, split roles, build together, and fight side by side. Survival is harder alone — but so is trust.
Harmony with what remains of nature. Masters of foraging, natural medicine, and living off the land.
Technology is salvation. Hack robots, manipulate systems, wield the most advanced weapons in the wasteland.
Discipline and strength. Build impenetrable bases, lead armies, and wage total war against AXIOM.
The shadow that moves unseen. Sabotage, assassination, and intelligence gathering. Strike without warning.
The only ones searching for a real cure. Research VAS, develop treatments, and hold the key to humanity's future.
No allegiance. No rules. Play every side, trust no one, and survive on your terms alone.

Rise of The Newborns features a Jigsaw-style grid inventory system — every item occupies a specific shape and size on your grid. A rifle takes up more space than a bandage. A surgery kit won't fit next to a grenade launcher. Space is precious. Choose wisely.
There are no infinite pockets. No magic bags. What you carry into a zone is what you fight with — and what you risk losing. Pack smart, or pay the price.
Pro tip: Don't go into an extraction zone full. Leave room for what you find. Greed is how you lose everything — experienced Newborns always leave 30% of their bag empty before a run.
Rise of The Newborns draws inspiration from the finest titles in its genre — then pushes further. We studied what made each of them unforgettable, and built our own vision on top of that foundation.
The gold standard of high-stakes extraction. We took the soul-crushing tension of losing your loadout, the adrenaline of a successful extract, and built our own system around those feelings.
Proof that extraction can be approachable without losing depth. Inspired our decision to make extraction optional — so players can experience the rush without being forced into it.
The benchmark for survival-meets-civilization building. Our hideout progression and open world sandbox were deeply shaped by the freedom Conan gave players to build their own story.
A masterclass in environmental storytelling and dread. The feeling that something is always watching — that the world has secrets — directly shaped how Silentum and the VAS zones feel.
Rise of The Newborns will never stop evolving. Early Access is just the beginning. Every update, every new system, every balance change will be directly influenced by our community — the players living in this world every day.
We actively listen. We read every report, every suggestion, every piece of feedback on Discord and Steam. This is your game too.
Every major update topic is voted on by the community. Your voice determines what gets built next.
The age of the Newborns begins
Your hideout is your lifeline. Start with bare wood and stone and gradually upgrade it into a fortified command center. Each tier unlocks new crafting stations, storage, defenses, and beds for your allies. Neglect it and you die. Invest in it and you dominate.
Find wandering merchants and settlement traders across the map. Exchange scavenged goods, weapons, and materials for things you can't craft yourself.
No universal currency. Value is determined by scarcity and demand. A medkit is worth more in a plague zone than in a safe haven. Every deal is negotiation.
Each faction has its own supply chain and preferred goods. Build reputation with a faction to unlock exclusive items, blueprints, and bulk trade access.
Trade directly with other Newborns in co-op. Specialize your hideout, produce surplus, and become the supplier your squad depends on to survive.
Forget a single health bar. In Rise of The Newborns, every body part has its own health state. A shot to the leg slows your movement. A hit to your arm weakens your aim. A damaged torso causes bleeding. Ignore injuries and they get worse. Treat them — or die slowly.
Open wounds in infected zones can contract VAS. Always carry rapid test kits. Treat wounds immediately in contaminated areas or risk spreading the infection to your allies.
From scrap-built clubs to precision rifles and energy weapons. Upgrade with attachments, repair degraded gear, and modify for your playstyle.
Layer clothing for protection and insulation. Craft full armor sets for specific threats — radiation suits for the Red Zone, stealth gear for infiltration.
Craft bandages, antibiotics, surgery kits, and VAS inhibitors. The rarest medicines require lab equipment and materials only found in extraction zones.
Build traps, generators, hacking devices, and drones. High-tier tech requires your hideout to be upgraded and specific workbench stations unlocked.
Extraction is entirely your choice. You can spend your entire playthrough in pure survival mode — building, crafting, exploring, and fighting at your own pace with no time limits, no lockdowns, no pressure. The open world is yours to conquer on your terms.
But if you want to push further — if you want the rarest materials, the most powerful gear, and the deepest lore — extraction runs are waiting. Drop into a high-risk zone, scavenge what you can, and fight your way out before the zone seals or enemies close in.
The reward is real. Exclusive crafting materials, high-tier weapons, and intel that can't be found anywhere else. The risk is equally real. Die in the field and you lose everything you were carrying. It's a gamble — and that's exactly what makes it worth it.
The abandoned capital. Once humanity's greatest achievement, now overrun by Aegisborn and scavengers. High loot density in the financial district — but the maglev system still runs, and things use it.
AXIOM's secret research facilities. Locked behind biometric security, filled with experimental subjects and elite operatives. The intel and tech inside could change everything.
Ground zero of the VAS outbreak. Fully quarantined. The most mutated Aegisborn live here. Even AXIOM doesn't patrol this deep. But the rare materials inside are found nowhere else.
