Craft and Survive in CrisisX
Hero Games has officially revealed that its upcoming cross-platform survival crafting action game, CrisisX, will launch in Q2 2026 on PC, iOS, and Android. The studio has also confirmed that the title will be playable at Gamescom, where attendees will get an exclusive first look.
Set across an enormous 1,200 km² open world map, CrisisX brings thousands of players together on a single server with up to 5,000 at once. The game’s environment is diverse and immersive, with 12 distinct terrains ranging from western towns and hidden labs to snowy mountain peaks and roaring rivers. Each area is rich with unique vegetation, resources, and wildlife, all essential for survival and crafting.
The game features a versatile and strategic combat system. Players can wield everything from simple melee weapons like machetes to powerful ranged options, including sniper rifles, RPGs, and grenades. While smaller threats may fall easily, larger swarms of Infected and towering Titan mutants require teamwork and serious firepower. To gain an edge, players can even construct armored vehicles, from modern M2 Bradleys to WWII-era Sherman tanks, as they battle for crucial resources such as oil wells.
Survival is not only about fending off enemies but also about forming alliances. Players can band together in Teams, Groups, and Communes to secure territory and expand their influence. However, with strength in numbers comes competition, leading to intense territorial conflicts with rival factions.
For those attending Gamescom, CrisisX will be showcased in Hall 9.1, Booth B059, offering the first chance to step into its hostile world and experience its large-scale survival gameplay firsthand.
