7 Days to Die is an open-world survival horror game set in Navezgane, Arizona, following a nuclear World War III that unleashed a virus, turning the population into zombies. You play a survivor who must gather resources, build shelters, and endure a massive zombie horde attack every seven days. We’ve added a bunch of Mods to make the Horde Nights more terrifying, automatically respawn vehicles and POIs, Better Weapons and ammo, additional tools, larger map, and more to come!

We have our own beefy custom server to host and run the server… no lag, EVER!

Key Storyline Details & Lore

• The Setting: The game takes place in Navezgane, a region that translates to “Killer of Monsters” in Apache, which acts as a radioactive, zombie-infested wasteland. 
• The Cause: Lore hints that nuclear bombings (WWIII) and a mysterious, airborne virus or biochemical weapon turned humanity into the undead. 
• The Cycle: The game’s premise revolves around the Blood Moon Horde, a massive attack that occurs every 7th day, necessitating intense fortification. 
• The Plot/Lore: Environmental clues suggest a failed attempt by “Hagashi Pharmaceuticals” to create a cure, which instead mutated humans, while the “Duke of Navezgane” is implied to control mutated soldiers. 
• The Goal: The game is a sandbox, but the primary, unstated goal is survival. Early alpha versions featured a note from a trader named Noah, aiming to guide you toward survival in a hostile wasteland. 

7 Days to Die features diverse zombie types categorized by threat level (Regular, Feral, Radiated) and special abilities, including Demolition (exploding), Screamers (horde callers), Spider (crawling/climbing), and biome-specific threats like Burned or Mutated zombies. Update 2.0 introduces new variants like Infernal, Charged, and Plague Splitters.
