- CrisisX is officially slated to launch in the second quarter of 2026.
- A brand new Gamescom trailer has been released, providing a deeper dive into the gameplay.
- Players will be able to craft everything from high-powered assault rifles to fully operational tanks.
If you've been craving more zombie-slaying and base-building excitement, you can finally breathe easy. CrisisX, the upcoming open-world survival-crafting game from Hero Games, now has an official release window. The game is scheduled to arrive on mobile and other platforms in Q2 2026, accompanied by a new trailer specifically for Gamescom.
As the description suggests, CrisisX blends many mechanics familiar to the open-world survival genre. Beyond scavenging for loot and fighting off hordes of zombies and mutants, you'll gather resources to construct a base, survive the dangers, and establish your dominance.
While the new Gamescom trailer showcases more of what we've already glimpsed, recently revealed behind-the-scenes details are particularly compelling. Well-equipped players may even get the chance to operate armored vehicles such as the M2 Bradley or the M4 Sherman—the iconic World War II tank.

Precision and Power
Once Human made a major impact and showed that NetEase can deliver a satisfying cross-platform experience, but CrisisX may find its own niche with a more grounded, realistic setting and recognizable military gear that sets it apart from Once Human's more supernatural elements.
Combine that with core survival mechanics like managing thirst, hunger, and health, plus the near-limitless crafting opportunities, and it's clear many players are already eager to get their hands on CrisisX and see how it measures up.
