Evaluation

On February 14, 2025, the developer (Doghowl Games) and publisher (tinyBuild) published an official statement confirming that Level Zero: Extraction has reached its final form. The post explicitly states that "the final patch for the game was released on January 30th, 2025" and that it is "no longer feasible for our relatively small teams to sustain the game from a financial standpoint." The developer confirmed there will be no more content updates, no weekend events, and that the remaining roadmap features will not be delivered. The game launched into 1.0 on January 29, 2025, with a final small follow-up patch (Patch 1.1) on January 30, 2025 — and the February 14 statement confirmed that patch was the last. Servers are confirmed to remain online, but no new content or updates are planned. The studio has moved on to developing a new, separate multiplayer title.
Evidence
Developer and publisher officially announced that Level Zero: Extraction has reached its final form. The final patch was released January 30, 2025. No further updates, content, or events are planned. The game underperformed financially, making continued support unfeasible. Doghowl is moving on to a new co-op multiplayer title.

About this game

EXTRACT

Alone or with friends, play as elite mercenaries tasked with extracting valuable items from several exclusion zones overrun by aliens and mutants. Explore three unique maps – the Space Station, Caves of Turion, and the Research Facility. Engage in visceral first-person combat using a vast arsenal of military-grade weaponry and gadgets. Fight both PvE and PvP threats – mutants, turrets, and other players controlling rival mercenaries or alien monsters.

SURVIVE

Use UV light to damage alien monsters, find valuable loot, and extract safely using one of the multiple evacuation points on each map. Equip grenades, gun attachments,

motion detectors, light traps, and neurochips that grant special perks before embarking on dangerous raids. Extract items, weapons, and crafting materials to raise your reputation with traders to unlock new items and cosmetic rewards.

HUNT

Play as an alien monster, a formidable extraterrestrial entity equipped with powerful abilities. Lurk in the shadows, use ventilation systems to ambush humans and place face-hugging traps. Use horrifying screams to startle enemies and EMP waves to turn off the lights. Hunt human players and level up your alien with ever-evolving mutations that will make you stronger. Tailor your playstyle by mutating the alien to unlock more effective ability variations.
