7 Days to Die coming to PS4 June 28

Creator relates the game's background

After selling more than 1 million copies on PC, the video game 7 Days to Die will be coming to the PS4 console June 28.

Writing on the Playstation Blog, creator Rick Huenink wrote about the history of the original game: "A few years ago, my brother and I talked about making a game that would combine elements of some of our favorite games into something new. We’re huge fans of the Fallout series, and Minecraft, among others, and so we started working on what would become 7 Days to Die."

He also explained the background of the game: "7 Days to Die combines first-person shooting, survival horror, tower defense and role-playing elements in a mix of combat, crafting, looting, mining, exploration and character growth to create what we hope you’ll think is a unique, addictive experience.

"It’s an open-world sandbox game to play alone, via splitscreen, or online, that gives you an enormous amount of freedom to choose how to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. You’re dropped into a harsh environment with almost nothing – not even clothes on your back. Through scavenging, crafting and hunting, you’ll eventually put together the basic items you’ll need to live. You’ll have to deal with cold, heat, hunger and thirst, and there are wild animals that see you as prey. But that’s not the worst, because you’re not alone — the undead wander all around you. Slow and relatively easy to avoid by day, at night they become merciless, fast-moving killers, hungry for your flesh."
