Kakao Games' subsidiary Ocean Drive Studio announced on the 10th that it will showcase its upcoming game 'God Save Birmingham' at Gamescom 2025, which will be held in Cologne, Germany, in August.
'God Save Birmingham' is an open-world survival simulator developed on Unreal Engine 5, set against the backdrop of 14th-century England's city of 'Birmingham,' featuring a medieval zombie apocalypse universe. The game is characterized by a focus on strategy and combat for securing food, water, and shelter, providing a unique immersion by utilizing medieval European tools instead of firearms.
This Gamescom presentation marks the second showcase following its first reveal last year, serving as an opportunity to enhance the game's quality based on on-site feedback. Kakao Games will handle publishing and global marketing, while Ocean Drive Studio will be responsible for development and operations.
'God Save Birmingham' will first be released as a Steam Early Access title, with a formal release planned later for console platforms such as PlayStation and Xbox. The release schedule will be announced at a later date.
Kim Hee-jae, head of Ocean Drive Studio, noted, "We are preparing to offer new fun to global gamers based on our creative universe and development capabilities," adding, "We will actively incorporate the feedback from Gamescom to enhance quality."
