The game transports players to an alternate Europe devastated by a terrible plague that has nearly wiped out the population and turned the continent into lifeless ruins. The few survivors have found refuge behind the walls of Château, but the struggle for survival forces them to venture beyond the fortress walls in search of vital resources.

The core gameplay revolves around intense PvPvE mechanics. Players will need to not only fight each other but also battle frenzied carriers of the deadly disease. At their disposal is a full arsenal of Napoleonic-era weapons. Muskets, pistols and hand grenades allow for ranged combat, but when ammunition runs out, they'll have to resort to melee weapons - axes, maces and shields.

The developers place special emphasis on character progression. Players will have access to hundreds of unique skills allowing them to create a hero for any playstyle. Dream of being an invisible loner who can infiltrate anywhere? Or perhaps you'd prefer to be an indispensable craftsman capable of repairing a comrade's armor mid-battle? Hunger promises to accommodate diverse tactical approaches.

The story casts the player as one of the survivors who can explore dangerous territories either alone or in a group of up to three people. During these expeditions, they'll complete tasks for inhabitants of the safe citadel, building their reputation and gaining access to new areas, equipment and other valuable opportunities.

At present, the exact release date for Hunger remains unknown.
