Two weeks after its announcement, the extraction shooter ZERO Sievert 2 has been wishlisted over 100,000 times

Underdog studio shared new details about ZERO Sievert 2 — the sequel to the post-apocalyptic extraction shooter, first introduced in early May. According to the developers, in just two weeks after its announcement, the game has accumulated over 100,000 wishlists on Steam.

The sequel will be a significantly larger project compared to the original ZERO Sievert, which was released in early access in 2022. The first part was created almost entirely by one developer — Luca Carbonara from CABO Studio. Despite its niche status and pixel graphics, the project managed to become a commercial success, earning over a million dollars in its first week after its early access release.

Now, Underdog studio has joined the development alongside CABO Studio and publisher Modern Wolf. ZERO Sievert 2 significantly changes its visual style and introduces a cooperative mode for the first time, which has become one of the main focuses in the new video from the team.

The game world, called "Zakov," will become more open and seamless. The authors pay special attention to smooth transitions between interior and exterior locations. Additionally, all weapons from the original game will return in the sequel.

Among the key improvements in ZERO Sievert 2, the developers highlight a more dynamic world with changing conditions, a deeper skill system, expanded weapon customization, and an updated base-building mechanic. The game is also being developed from the outset with active mod support in mind.
