Grimdark survival strategy from the creators of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius
Humanity emerges, hesitantly, into ruination. Almost nothing is left of the world as we knew it—settlements, forests, seas, mountains—all have been blasted into unfamiliarity. Horribly mutated animals hunt in packs through deformed woodland. Decrepit military robots stumble unknowingly through the ruins, sensors and logic centres blown. Alien soldiers, once impossibly powerful, cower in the wrecks of their ships, praying to heedless gods for rescue.On the planet Earth, that was once a cradle of life, the extinction of humanity is at hand.
What will you do to survive?
Next-generation survival wargame set on a destroyed world
Choose your past and wage war to ensure humanity’s survival between the abominations of the Voice and the automata of ZEPHON. Select a leader, gather your allies and choose your actions wisely—or suffer the consequences.Key features:
- Unique tactical battles. Let’s face it, 4X combat is often boring or shallow—not Proxy’s. Our complex, nuanced battle system means victory is a matter of skill, not brute numbers.
- A complete 4X. Diplomacy, research, exploration, city-building—we’ve taken the fundamentals of 4X and shaken them up. Drop the assumptions you have from other games in the genre.
- Post-apocalyptic horror survival. Drag your civilization through a grimdark future—survive unexpected events while eldritch horrors and cyberpunk monstrosities derail your progress. Because that’s the game we wanted to play.

Hi everyone,
As you know, we released The Platinum & The Infinite last week. Were glad to see you enjoying the new content and we are now thinking of what to build for ZEPHON in 2026.
Our base case is to continue with the same DLC structure weve done so far (since its been received so well), but are looking for your input on what else we should focus on (a couple of ideas listed below).
Note that this may change at any point, including as a consequence of your feedback or sales performance.
Q2 DLC
2 new leaders
[/*]6 new units (tier 5 and 6)
[/*]1 new advanced zephon unit
[/*]3 new operations
[/*]3 new rare items
[/*]2 new outposts
[/*]5 new quests
[/*]4 new mutators
[/*]4 new music tracks
[/*]
Q4 DLC
2 new leaders
[/*]6 new units (tier 7 and 8)
[/*]1 new advanced chieftess unit
[/*]3 new operations
[/*]3 new *legendary items
[/*]2 new outposts
[/*]5 new quests
[/*]4 new mutators
[/*]4 new music tracks
[/*]
*Legendary items: A new tier of items with its own research requirementeven more powerful than rare.
Free Features Ideas
The Last Days of Earth replayability: Add side-effects or side-objectives that are randomly triggered either at the start of the final battle or some turns in. These could range from Acrin ships crashing and spawning cities or other points of interest to the re-emergence of the Chieftess with an arsenal of super-weapons, perhaps temporarily uniting everyone else against her. Would love to hear ideas here, to make the final event more varied.
[/*]Unique headquarters weapons per affinity: Instead of player-controlled headquarters always being armed with assault rifles and missile launchers, have the headquarters\' weapons based on the leader\'s affinity (e.g. laser for Cyber).
[/*]Resource veins: Generate advanced resource veins at the start of the game. These hotpots would require an Engineer to construct an extractor on it and would provide one type of advanced resource and a bonus when fighting against units built with that resource. Alternatively, these would be non-resource veins, that would only provide specific buffs.
[/*]NPC regrouping world effects: Change the world dynamics when NPCs are defeated and start regrouping. E.g. defeating Anchorite means neutral Dreameaters start spawning around the world, because he was the only one keeping them at bay.
[/*]Synergy technologies: Research options that boost the viability of multi-affinity builds. Or even options that boost single-affinity builds.
[/*]Transport AI: Teach the AI how to use transports.
[/*]City caches: City destruction currently spawns advanced branched caches; instead spawn unique city caches that offer larger rewards.
