Generation Zero is a video game developed and self-published by Systemic Reaction.[2] The game was announced in June 2018 and released on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One on 26 March 2019.[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Generation Zero is an open-world, co-operative, first-person shooter, survival game that can be played online with up to three other players or solo.[4]

Plot and setting[edit]

The game is set in 1989, in a post-apocalyptic alternate-reality Sweden, which has become overrun by killer robot machines. These robots were built after World War II for defensive purposes however have subsequently become oppressive towards humans and will attempt to kill the player on sight. The player assumes the role of a Swedish teenager who, upon returning from an island excursion, finds that their home has been abandoned and overrun with killer robots and must survive the Swedish wilderness while attempting to determine the fate of those who used to live there.[5][6]

The artistic style of the game has frequently been likened to the artwork of Simon Stålenhag.[1][7] including by the artist himself.[8] However, despite perceived similarities, Systemic Reaction has denied that the style of the game has been inspired or motivated by Stålenhag's art and that the artist was not involved directly or indirectly in the making of the game.
