Late last week, the developers at Madfinger Games announced the pricing structure for its upcoming tactical FPS Gray Zone Warfare. At the time, the devs also claimed fans would be learning the early access release date very soon. They definitely weren’t lying. Earlier today, Madfinger Games revealed that Gray Zone Warfare is dropping in early access on April 30th. For those of you scoring at home, that’s tomorrow at the time of this writing. That means players will be able to hop into the open-world MMO and explore the PvEvP and PvE modes before they know it.

Gray Zone Warfare Early Access Release
Gray Zone Warfare launches tomorrow into early access. If you haven’t gotten a good idea of how the game will play, the trailer above does a great job of showing what the team is talking about when it calls Gray Zone a tactical FPS. Players will enjoy a more realistic shooter where “every move matters.” Given the game takes place in a massive open world, it’s safe to say there’s going to be a ton of mayhem happening when you drop onto the servers.
It’s worth noting that Gray Zone Warfare will give players four different options when purchasing the game. The base version runs $34.99 and includes the game, some extra equipment, and a solid chunk of in-game currency. Players who want to spend more can pick up the Tactical Edition for $57.99, the Elite Edition for $79.99, or the Supporter Edition for $99.99. All three versions come with extra gear and in-game currency, though the most substantial addition might be the larger locker and lockbox. Considering Gray Zone Warfare is launching in early access, it’s hard to know if it’s worth spending the money yet, but if you’re planning to dive in deep, it might be worth spending the extra cash.
What is Gray Zone Warfare?
As mentioned, Gray Zone Warfare is a more realistic shooter that features both PvPvE and PvE modes. In some ways, it’s reminiscent of games like Escape From Tarkov. Gray Zone‘s main gimmick that Madfinger is using to differentiate its game is how far into realism the shooter goes. Madfinger’s shooter “incorporates precise real-world value and authentic ballistic models.”
That also means that each firefight is a tense game of back-and-forth. With the focus on realism, it means that any shot can and will have consequences, easily resulting in your death. Gray Zone Warfare also gives players access to hundreds of different weapon parts that they can use to customize their guns to their exact specifications. The final note on the gameplay front is that Madfinger is doing away with hitpoints for its health system. Instead, Gray Zone attempts to realistically simulate the human body, meaning wounds need to be treated and can affect your gameplay while you wait for them to heal.ย
