SEOUL, South Korea, February 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NHN(KRX: 181710, CEO Ujin Chung) is excited to announce the upcoming global test for its new zombie apocalypse game, ‘Darkest Days’ scheduled for February. The game will enter its open beta test (OBT) in the first quarter, and pre-registration is now open.

‘Darkest Days’ is an open-world shooting RPG developed by NHN. The game immerses players in a zombie apocalypse, where they must survive and thrive. Players can explore the world to find essential survival items, build and expand their shelters, and recruit other survivors. The game has already been tested twice in Korea via closed beta test (CBT), receiving praise for its exciting features like cooperative raids and player-versus-player (PVP) modes.

The global test will take place from February 24th to March 3rd (PST). This test will help NHN gather feedback from players around the world. The PC version of the game will be available for the first time during the ‘Steam Next Fest’ on the Steam platform.

Today NHN has opened pre-registration on the official website, Google Play, and the App Store to prepare for the OBT. Those who pre-register will receive a special in-game item, the ‘Taxi’ which helps players move freely across the game's vast areas. This reward will be available once the OBT begins.

The PC version will be released on Steam, and the ‘Darkest Days’ Steam store page is now live. It features a teaser video and images that showcase the game's expansive apocalyptic world. The video highlights key gameplay elements like exploration, building, combat, and community, increasing excitement for the game's release.
