Breaking away from the fantastic and apocalyptic settings of most survival games, the Black Death sets its struggle to stay alive in the 14th century of Western Europe, leaving you to escape death in a historical setting.
Here’s what to expect from the new update.
<ul><li>The Beggar Profession - A brand new profession is available to play! Times are hard and many have been reduced to begging in the streets. Beggars excel at crafting poor quality trinkets and decorative items. They have an improved resistance to the plague and the ability to beg for money allowing other players to toss them gold coins.</li>
</ul></b>
The Black Death, developed by Syrin Studios and Small Impact Games and published by Green Man Gaming, is still in Early Access, but boasts an open world of 8 square kilometers, a variety of medieval professions to choose from, 50-player servers, and hundreds of NPCs to interact with and items to collect, craft, and use in your struggle for survival. Hopefully the game’s historical setting and these new features will help to differentiate it from a sea of similar titles. You can check out a trailer below.
