DEADGATE closed alpha sign-ups are open

We can finally announce the game we have been quietly building: DEADGATE, a multiplayer first-person extraction shooter set on a zombie-infested island under quarantine.

Every raid starts with a contract. You drop onto the island solo or with a squad of up to four, complete your job, grab everything you can and try to get out before the island closes at midnight. Other squads are on the island too, each working their own job. You cannot pass the quarantine gate before the job is done, and nothing in your backpack is yours until you make it out alive.

The closed alpha starts on October 30, 2026 and runs for about four months. You will be playing multiplayer raids; we will add new systems and updates in waves throughout the test.

Update (October 15): We will not revoke alpha keys. If you activate your key on Steam, DEADGATE stays in your library after the test, and you keep owning it at no extra cost when the game goes on sale. It is our thank-you for the time you spend testing with us.

To join, fill in the application form and verify your email address. We select players for a mix of hardware, region and availability, and selected players receive a Steam key by email. Participation is completely free.

See you at the gate.
