Wishlist Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream on SteamDreadzone - July 17th (Early Access)
Genre:Zombie / Survival
Dreadzone is an open-world zombie survival game set in a deadly quarantine zone. The game features all the basic survival game activities, with two aspects in the trailer that differ from the majority of others. Airdrops and air strikes. It's unclear if the airstrikes are a random event or something the player calls in.

Genre:Space / FPS
Wildgate is a new kind of team-based game that combines elements of extraction shooters and battle royales. Pitting 4-5 teams of 4 against one another in a race to an expensive artifact.

We aren't sure what to make of if, but we are excited.
