VEXHOLDNO ONE LEAVES
The island of Vexhold is cut off from the world. The evacuation never came. You wash up with nothing. They hear your footsteps, they see your fire, and they keep coming.

In the game now
You wash up with nothing.
Everything else, you earn.
It runs on our side in Unreal Engine 5. Not public yet, but real.
In the game
Stay alive
Hunger, thirst, stamina and the cold of the night. Under water your breath runs out; die and you wash up on the shore again.
In the game
Day and night
A full day in 48 minutes: golden evenings and cold nights with only the moon. Swim, dive and hear every step change on sand, grass and rock.

Welcome to the island
An intro, a main menu over the living island and its own music. Your world is saved while you play.
Straight from the game
No concept art.
This is the island.
What is coming
It gets worse.
Coming
The Rotters
They hear your footsteps and every shot, they see your fire in the dark and there are more of them at night.
Coming
Chop, craft, build
Fell trees, make tools and weapons and build a hut with a door that shuts.
Coming
Hordes
Hundreds of dead moving across the island at night, drawn by noise and light.
Coming
Four seasons
A winter that puts your base to the test: snow, ice and frozen water.
Coming
Animals and taming
Hunt, become the prey, or slowly win the trust of a dog.
Coming
Survive together
Play with friends, form a clan, trade in Haven, or trust no one.

REPORT #013
A new island in Unreal Engine 5
VEXHOLD is now built in Unreal Engine 5, and the island has already been rebuilt: dense forests and cliffs made from real photo scans, golden evenings and cold nights. Crafting, building and the Rotters return to the new island next.
Read the reportREPORT #012Survive the first night
VEXHOLD is playable for the first time, in a small first version. You wash up on the shore with nothing: find food and water, make your first tools, chop wood and build a shelter before the dead find you. They hear every shot.
Read the reportREPORT #011A living sea
The sea around VEXHOLD now moves like real water: the wind builds the waves, crests break into foam and the swell calms down before it reaches the beach. Mist glows around a low sun, and the edges of trees and hills are smooth.
Read the reportWhen can I play VEXHOLD?
The island already runs on our side in Unreal Engine 5: walking, swimming, hunger, thirst, day and night. Next come crafting, building and the Rotters, then the full singleplayer, playing together and a closed alpha. There is no release date yet; Discord hears it first.
Are the pictures real?
Yes. Every picture on this site is taken in the game itself, in Unreal Engine 5, never painted over. It is early footage: it will look even better.
Will it be PvP or PvE?
Both. Survive the island alone in your own world, or together with others, against the world and each other. Haven is a safe trading post without PvP.
Which platforms?
Windows PC first. System requirements follow later.
