7 Days to Die – an open-world zombie game that first released back in December 2013 – is finally leaving early access.

Developer The Fun Pimps says that the next update will not only usher in new gore, challenges, and improved controller support, but also move the 11-year-old game out of early access for the very first time.

It's not all good news, though, particularly if you already own the £30 zombie game on console.

Edit: I misunderstood what was meant by "technical differences", I didn't realise they don't have the source for the legacy console port and actually cannot update it - that's my bad, and it puts the efforts to get discounts for current owners in a much better light.

~~So because the game is significantly different after 11 years, console players have to buy it again? In what manner was that an "Early Access" title on console, then? They're basically declaring that 1.0 is a sequel, but only on consoles. Fuck these guys, they're pimps alright but of the "bitch better have my money" variety.~~ It's not even that good a game in any case; get Project Zomboid if you want zombies, or Grounded if you want first person survival crafting.

not it's a telltale games bankruptcy shithole as they had the console port and all their code is lost to time

so basically a whole new game has to be created and the dev do not have the ability to push an update to the store listings

Fair play, I've updated my comment and my opinion. Thanks!
