About this game
Zeal is a 3rd person Action RPG focusing on customizable character builds and competitive PvP/PvE without grinding.
Fast Paced & Competitive
In Zeal, you'll experience the thrills of fast-paced third-person PvP where your smallest decision counts as a huge difference towards achieving victory when executing strategies quickly.
Customizable Builds & Unique Classes
Zeal does not come with pre-defined characters with limited variety. In fact, it is all about building your own character through base classes that offer unique identity possibilities waiting for you to explore. Choose your abilities, decide which stats are important for you and utilize passive masteries of your taste to reach the ultimate customization that differs you from any other player.
No Grind, No Pay 2 Win
Last but not least, Zeal offers a gameplay that involves absolutely 0 minutes of grinding required. You can jump into the action without having to run errands in a village and you can be equally strong with everyone in terms of raw power without having to slay a dragon. Though you might slay it in the future, for cosmetic purposes!
It is also safe to say, since this project is by the players — for the players, Zeal will never include a pay to win advantage of any form.

Zeal is now a tab targeted game. Available to play!
It has been a while since the last announcement and you might be wondering what's going on. While there's no ETA for the planned MMORPG features, we'd like to outline an important change to the combat system: Zeal is now a tab targeted game with controls and combat similar to WoW. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33188525/0293f885ca1cf10519d03619c09b101f9b6ec029.png How to play: join our Discord and install Zeal from the #zeal-install channel. https://discord.gg/txFRc94Read full article on Community Announcements (drcrack)AnnouncementsOfficial
Zeal will be a PvP-focused MMORPG
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33188525/81786896918c77b545d817d2ca89a6cc1290c689.png This week is exactly 3 years since we started working on Zeal. Though this project was never supposed to be a standalone arena simulator, the constant lack of resources we were facing didn't let us do anything else. And even now, when the game is more polished than ever, it's not appealing enough for new players, while old players simply get tired of playing against each other. The game needs drastic changes, and we're going to make them. Servers are closing today, and we're starting a big rework. Zeal will be a PvP-focused MMORPG without open world, something between Albion Online, Warframe, and even Escape From Tarkov to some degree. Don't worry, neither gear nor other grindable bonuses will work in Arena, it will stay as it is. We'll post more details later, meanwhile, please read about the upcoming changes to our Patreon campaign in #patreon on our Discord: https://discord.gg/sJESRK5 And as always, stay zealous, we'll be back soon!Read full article on Community Announcements (drcrack)AnnouncementsOfficial
Zeal's summer playtesting season has started!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33188525/3b08032ff9d9151d5c4087760ed7eec3e66953c5.png We've started a new playtesting season with 10 classes and Arena mode available. Download Zeal via Discord and play for free! https://discord.gg/txFRc94 Note: Zeal is currently not available on Steam, but it will return closer to the release.Read full article on Community Announcements (drcrack)AnnouncementsOfficial
Zeal's Patreon is up with early access to the Alpha!
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33188525/f4d8750d9cad1983e4c9cbe20285547fa155c997.png Due to the challenges we have faced and other obstacles approaching such as the release of Classic WoW, we have decided to postpone Zeal Alpha Phase to late September. The exact date will be announced later, but currently we are looking at the 25th of September. The Zeal Alpha itself will be available on Steam and Discord for a fixed price of $10. More information about this will be posted closer to the release. Meanwhile, our planned Patreon campaign is nerfed and won’t be used as the main monetization method. Instead, we’ll have $20, $35 and $50 tiers with unique cosmetic rewards for the biggest zealots. Also, subscribing to the $20 tier will give you access to the current dev builds of Zeal starting from the 25th of August, a month before the release! Check it out: https://www.patreon.com/lycanic We are aware you guys cannot wait to play, but we are not able to compete with initial Classic WoW hype (even though it has no arena), so we would rather take this time to improve the game even further for now. On the other hand, our 2D/3D Artists are working on creating better visuals for the game that we might tease you guys with soon.
