Ardem - A New Era Begins

Hey everyone,

It has been a bit quiet around Ardem lately and for good reason. We have been working hard behind the scenes on some massive changes and today we finally get to show you what we have been up to.

Ardem is getting a completely new look!

We have reworked the entire visual style from stylized and low poly to hyper realistic.
This change has been part of our long term vision and allows us to build a world that feels more immersive, authentic and intense than ever before.

Check out the brand new announcement trailer right here!

But that is not the only big change.

After a lot of feedback from all of you, we have decided to replace the robot enemies with zombies.

Yes, that was a tough call for us, but it is clear this direction connects much more with our community. And do not worry, human bandits might still make their way into the game later. 😉

Looking ahead, the next few months are going to be packed with:

🔥 Sneak peeks
🌍 Location and feature spotlights
📖 Story and lore hints

Follow us on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and make sure to join our Discord so you do not miss anything, especially the next Playtest in the new look!

Finally, a massive thank you to over 60,000 players who have played and supported Ardem so far.

You are the reason we can keep building this world together.

See you in Ardem!

PS: Check out our new Steam page, hit subscribe and add Ardem to your Wishlist if you have not already! It really helps us out and makes sure you stay up to date with all upcoming news.
