With our next game update, we are reworking the reputation system and adding a new layer of progression to the game. Your relationship with each faction will continue to determine which benefits are available to you.
In this blog, we will provide you with an overview of the general changes, explain the new reputation levels, and introduce the Favor currency, Shop NPCs and Faction Gear.
Greetings, Scavengers!
Since our last development update following the July playtest, the team has continued working on new features, content, and improvements for Persist Online.
Today, we’d like to give you another overview of what is coming in the next Pre-Alpha update, what is currently in development, and what we have planned for the months ahead.
Greetings, Scavengers!
Today, we are happy to give you a preview of a new and upcoming feature, designed to offer guilds more regular PvP activities in Persist Online. We are talking about: Sector.
Greetings, Scavengers!
Firstly, we wanted to thank all of our testers who participated in the latest July playtest. During the test we gathered a lot of new data regarding many different aspects of the game, especially regarding our recent progression changes. Also, a big thanks for all the created feedback posts, suggestions and bug reports (in-game and on Discord).
As we continue to evaluate everything we received and adjust our plans, we want to take some time to give you an overview (like we did in April) of what we are currently working on and what is still to come for the dev team in the next months.

Today, we are happy to show you a preview of a new and upcoming feature, designed to provide more regular activities for player characters in Persist Online. We are talking about “Faction Quests“.
The apocalypse has changed. This update is not just about fixes or tweaks — it is about evolution.
Every corner of Persist Online has been touched, from the way you fight to the way light moves across the ruins of Ashwater. Weapons now have true identity, zombies are more dangerous and unpredictable, and the entire world runs smoother thanks to a complete graphics overhaul and countless under-the-hood improvements.
This is a big step forward for Persist Online!
Greetings, Scavengers
The open world of Persist Online is not defined by ruins alone. It is defined by the enemies that inhabit every street, forest, and stronghold. Some are beasts defending their territory, others are organized human factions, and many are the restless undead that never truly disappear.
Each enemy type plays a role in shaping the world. They react to your actions, they occupy specific areas, and they determine how far you can push into new regions. Today we want to share an overview of these enemy groups and, as the title suggests, take a closer look at what goes on inside their heads.
Each player can access a wide variety of skills in the game, such as the turret shown below. We have decided to make substantial changes to the current system.
The world of Persist Online has always thrived on tension, unpredictability, and the ever-present danger that another player might strike when you least expect it. Our vision has always been an open PvP world – where every encounter carries risk. But with our new PvP system, currently in development, we’re adding depth, consequences, and a touch of justice to the chaos – without dulling its edge.
Note: None of the mechanics outlined here are final and may change before release.
