Game Overview
Several years have passed since the original How to Survive events on Los Riscos’ archipelago. Now the local infection has turned into a worldwide pandemic. Everyone around the world, groups of people or lone wolves, try to survive one more day among the infected, attempting to recover a semblance of normal life. You find yourself in Louisiana and your survival chance starts by building a safe camp and becoming a skilled survivalist. Find water, food and shelter and talk to the unconventional locals to make your way around. An eccentric masked stranger offers you help? Sure, sounds way better than zombies!

• Teamwork: all players can contribute to a bigger, better camp and can perform co-op actions and strategies.
• New improved camera follows your character, allowing you to zoom in and out on the fly!
