About this game
Welcome to the Dead West.
The West has fallen. Not to war – but to something far worse.
The dead are everywhere, and the few survivors left are fighting for another day.
In Dreadmark Outlaws, you fight your way through a grim Wild West filled with zombies, monsters and outlaws. Ride out alone, team up with friends, build defenses and grow stronger with every fight.
Ammunition is precious. The West is merciless.
Sometimes the perfect plan works.
Sometimes everything just explodes.
Both are Dreadmark Outlaws.
A Campaign Through the Fallen West
Explore abandoned settlements, dark mines and dangerous regions of the Wild West in a dedicated campaign.
Find better weapons, face new threats and gradually uncover what became of this world.
No safe towns. No great armies.
Just you, your gun and the road ahead.
Alone or Together – Survive at Any Cost
Play solo, with bots or together with up to four players in online co-op.
Animal companions can journey through the fallen West with you and fight by your side.
Or switch sides and face other outlaws in PvP modes.
With six playable modes including the campaign, you decide how you want to experience the fallen West.
Grow Stronger With Every Fight
Defeated zombies and monsters drop loot that permanently improves your outlaw.
Spend the money you earn at the Trader on new weapons and outfits.
Fight. Loot. Grow stronger. Ride out again.
Build. Defend. Survive.
When the dead come in numbers, a quick trigger finger is no longer enough.
Build defenses, prepare your position and turn your surroundings into a deathtrap for the undead.
Become an outlaw legend.
More Than Just a Game
The world of Dreadmark Outlaws continues in the official Dreadmark Outlaws novel.
While the game throws you straight into the chaos of the fallen West, the novel dives deeper into its world, its characters and their story.

Big Dev + Demo Update 0.09 – Companions, Boss Zombies, Endgame
Hey Outlaws!It is time for a bigger development update again, because a lot is happening behind the scenes right now.And first of all: we have moved the current release target of Dreadmark Outlaws to March 2027.We are sorry about that.But the simple reason is: we want more time.More time for the campaign, more weapons, more towers, more game modes and especially more time to make the whole game feel finished instead of rushing it out because of an old release date.We are working with full power on new content right now, and the Demo will also continue to grow during this time.🐺 River, Poncho & Animal CompanionsOur first animal companions are coming into the game.River the Wolf and Poncho the Bear will help you survive the zombie hordes and fight together with you.The idea behind the companions is pretty simple: give solo players and smaller groups another helping hand when things become chaotic.We are still working a lot on them, especially on the animation programming. Some animations are not final yet and some things still looks a little rough.But the basic systems are working and we really like where this is going.🤠 Co-op AIWe are also working further on our Co-op AI.This is important for us because we want Dreadmark Outlaws to still be fun when you don't have four players available.Bots, companions and players should work together, so you can jump into a match without needing to organize a full group every time.There is still plenty of polishing needed here too, but the foundation is now there.☠️ Five Boss MonstersWe now have 5 different Boss Monsters in the game.They are meant to break up the normal zombie waves and create some moments where suddenly everything goes completely wrong.And yes, that is exactly what we want.Especially during the later waves, we want matches to become more chaotic and unpredictable instead of only throwing more normal zombies at you.🗺️ Our first Endgame MapWe have also added our first Endgame Map for Zombie Mode.You cannot simply se...Read full article on Community Announcements (Ghetto Peter)Community & EventsOfficial
