Announced today, Dying Breed from Sarnayer that blends together the classic style and gameplay in the original Command & Conquer but with Zombies is now being published by MicroProse. Seems quite fitting to have a name like MicroProse attached to it.

Taking you back to the glory days of the classic RTS experience with a 90s electro-metal soundtrack and even those brilliantly silly FMV live-action cut-scenes. Set in a post-apocalyptic world it has the usual base-building and resource gathering but the action also looks great.

It will have Native Linux support at release. Yeah, I'm excited for this one. I grew up on C&C, Red Alert and the likes so this one really speaks to me. Can't wait to see more of it.

You can follow it on Steam. There also for now still some old demos on itch.io.

Quoting: dziadulewiczOh Zombies even here. To ruin even a Command & Conquer kind of game. WHY ARE THESE THROWN EVERY WHERE

No need to program any sort of tactical AI for the enemies, I guess. They just run towards you.

Maybe the Zombie’s should be diving for cover out of fear of the barrage of bullets
Just to prove they are intelligent. We can even dress them soldier uniform.

Love it at first glance. I´m just a bit unsure about the cutscenes. We dont get to see much in the trailer, but for me it seems a little to much "lets try hard to make it very bad and cheesy" instead of the real "its bad and cheesy and we dont care"-coolness of the original games of that era.

Still an appreciated project and that MicroProse-Logo adds an extra kick of nostalgia

Microprose used to be basically the Paradox of their time.
