Today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the upcoming closure of Dread Hunger's official servers.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everybody that has played the game. Your unwavering support, dedication, and passion for Dread Hunger have shaped the game through Early Access, and seen it through to launch and onward while building communities all around the world.

After exploring multiple avenues to keep the official game servers online we are now at the difficult position where we can no longer support the surprisingly high ongoing server costs. Dread Hunger's servers are being subjected to frequent and severe DDOS attacks. These attacks not only disrupt the gaming experience for everyone playing but also impose a significant financial burden.

We understand the disappointment and emotions this decision might bring. In light of this decision, we will be releasing Dread Hunger's server to allow you, the community, to host your own servers. We recognize the passion and commitment of the Dread Hunger community, so we hope to empower you to continue enjoying the game for years to come. Whether you wish to host intimate sessions with friends, or larger community-driven events, this initiative ensures that the spirit of the game remains alive in the hands of its most passionate supporters.

Please note the following important dates:

December 1st, 2023: Dread Hunger will no longer be available for purchase
January 1st, 2024: Dread Hunger official game servers will shut down

Thank you once again for being a part of Dread Hunger's journey. Your stories, friendships, and experiences within the game will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
