In this update, we fixed a wide range of issues, from the thermal imaging camera and bunker interface to trade bugs and visual effects. Combat feels smoother, skills like Marathon Lungs and Haste have been rebalanced for better flow, and melee movement has been improved.

The Great Overhaul: Combat Depth, Enhanced Visuals and Performance Gains7 min read
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!
Pre-Alpha Patchnotes v.0.6.0.57 8 min read
This update expands Persist Online with new content, improved visuals, and deeper combat. Every weapon type now has its own identity, from auto-reloading SMGs to rage-fueled hammers and riposting swords, making fights more tactical and distinct.
Zombie encounters are faster, deadlier, and full of surprises — some now spawn Rotworms or inflict debuffs when killed. New props, lootables, and harvestables bring more life to the world, while zones like the Ashwater Medical Center and Beckwood have been completely overhauled.
The new Safe Trade system lets players securely exchange items and cash, and the switch to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) enhances lighting, weather, and water for a more immersive world.
Inside a Zombie’s Brain: Enemies of Persist Online7 min read
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.
