as written in our last update here on Steam: Our Wishlist Event for Dead Age 2 shows first results!
At the end of February, we nearly unlocked the first step of our Wishlist Event: 10,000 wishes to unlock the animated portraits for Dead Age 2 - only 1,000 wishes were missing.
And now the good news: In the meantime, we reached 10,000 wishes for Dead Age 2 and unlocked the animated portraits! Our designers are now getting to work to create the animated portraits for all characters. Thank you very, very much for wishlisting the game, for your ongoing support and also for your feedback. Everything is very much appreciated!
And what's next? With 20,000 wishes you will unlock additional animations for humans and zombies in combat.
Our Wishlist Event for Dead Age 2 shows first results! ːsteamhappyː
The animated portraits only need 1.000 more wishes and then they will be definitely implemented to the game! While there were no animated portraits in Dead Age, this is a completely new feature that breathes more life into the characters. Here you can see an example of the conversations in Dead Age 2:
In the next few weeks we will provide you all more information about the development of Dead Age 2 here on Steam. Look forward to our updated and more dangerous Zombie Apocalypse!
See ya all at the zombie apocalypse! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team
Happy Holidays straight out of the Zombie Apocalypse!
Dear Survivors,
the year is slowly coming to an end and we would like to take this opportunity to say "thank you"!
Thank you for all your feedback, the exchange with you guys and your interest in Dead Age and Dead Age 2! We are working hard to launch the game into Steam Early Access in late Q1 or early Q2 2020. It takes quite some time to implement all the cool new features and your feedback and we only want to offer you guys the best Dead Age 2 experience possible!
More information on the game and (of course) also on the launch date for Dead Age 2 will be revealed soon. In the meantime you can check out Dead Age on your PlayStation 4 (that we just released yesterday!) and on your Xbox One with improved controller support.
Oh, and can we ask you for a little Christmas favor? Please add Dead Age 2 to your Steam Wishlist. By wishlisting the game you can help us to improve it even further. You can of course also tell your friends about the game and share the Dead Age 2 steam page link with them. We would really appreciate that!
Okay, enough talk. Thanks a lot for your ongoing support! We wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year - have a good start into 2020!
three years in the making and we are finally close to reach our goal: Dead Age is back with a vengeance!
Dead Age 2 is a unique combination of survival, management, Rogue-Like events, turn-based combat, classic role-playing game with tons of quests and a story in which your decisions directly effect plot progression!
Like we did with Dead Age in 2016 we will release Dead Age 2 in early 2020 to Steam Early Access. Why? Because we want to optimize the game within the last month of the development together with you guys because we want to offer you the best possible Dead Age experience!
And we've got more great news for you! You can improve Dead Age 2 even further with our Wishlist event. Wishlist the game and unlock more and more cool features and extensions for it by increasing the number of wishes. We keep you posted with updates when new goals have been reached!
More than 84% of people buying Dead Age gave positive review which makes us really happy. This patch addresses a point of critique many players made that melee attacks are more convenient in most cases, leaving ranged attacks a bit behind. Having more ammunition at hand should balance that and give you more options in combat.
- more ammunition can be found in the different areas
- the max stack amount of every ammunition type has been increased
- thus more ammunition can be crafted which is recommended for players specializing on ranged attacks
- fixed: tooltip in combat showing incorrect values for melee and ranged damage for own combatants
- fixed: some minor mistakes in the localization and upgrades
In addition we want to announce that based on the huge success we are working on Dead Age 2. A Steam store page will be set up in the following months. Release is planned in 2019. In other news we are preparing Dead Age 1 for release on Xbox One. More news on that topic are coming soon.

Greetings Survivors,
today we have a new languages update. The russian fan translation is finished. Many thanks to Golden Pen Studios. https://www.golden-pen-studio.com
Spanish and French translation were also completed. Thanks to Rodrigo Gomez Poviña for Spanish and Raphaël Minazzo for French.
However both languages are still in BETA mode, so players can activate it but pls if you see any spelling erros don't hesitate to go in our Steam forum to post the problems:

All were very nice people and its great to have such a support in the Steam community for indie developers.
Here is the list of changes. They were made in the last couple of weeks for the final version 1.5
Bugfixes
- added: option menu button in the main game menu
- added: "no quests avaible" text to bar screen when no quests are available ;)
- important fix for Ambulance, Car und MilitaryLKW Events. They used the wrong attribute (survival) now they use the level of "cunning" skill correctly.
- tryfix for customers who couldn't see any gui elements on the start screen
- fixed a bug with Dexter and the boss loot
- fix for spending skillpoints together with switching partymembers sometimes caused a problem with scripted events or in combat
- fixed a bug for Bill Quest 2 (and possibly other) where he was dead but the quest still activated
- fixed earning no medals for the 6 endings
Balancing
- Boss loot got improved. Now you get only high quality gear, weapons or tools randomly. For the boss in the wood you can also get some larger food rations. We removed ammunition, medic, upgrade and syringe loot there
- balanced family helping achievements to only need 2 and 4 acceptions respectively
- healing now costs 2 AP because it was possible to spam the skill with several chars.
- when Liz or Jamal join your camp in the later stages of the game they now will be stronger to match the general character level progression
