Publisher TinyBuild along with first time developers DogHowl Games have announced Level Zero, an asymmetric PvP horror game in a sci-fi setting.

Level Zero is expected out sometime in 2023. It will launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam). You can sign up for the closed beta on their website.

As mentioned, the game is an asymmetric horror game where players will either assume the role of 4 humans attempting to survive, or 2 powerful respawning aliens.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Level Zero

In Level Zero, light is life. The power is failing on an off-world research facility, and light-fearing monsters prowl the now-dark halls. Four human scientists race to repair the base’s power systems before they’re devoured by the nightmares lurking in the shadows. The science team must coordinate and communicate to search for vital tools, failing fuse panels and vital sources of light including flares and glowsticks. Without access to traditional weaponry, the scientists will have to improvise if they want to survive.

The opposing two players control an endlessly respawning duo of monsters. Efficient hunters, but vulnerable to light. Armed with lethal claws, blinding spit, biomechanical land-mines, organic EMP blasts and a ferocious psychic scream to disarm their prey, they are versatile and powerful hunters wherever shadows fall. Sensing the heartbeats of the scientists through solid walls, their mission is simple – no human survives the blackout.
