How co-op works
Online co-op survival in which players scavenge an ancient overgrown world, share resources, build shelters, and coordinate hunts to outlast evolving post-apocalyptic threats.
About this game
Rooted drops players into an ancient, overgrown post-apocalyptic landscape where nature has reclaimed civilization. This survival game challenges teams to navigate dense forests, crumbling ruins, and hostile wildlife while scavenging for materials and establishing bases. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the world reacts and evolves as players push deeper into forgotten territories.

Survival depends on managing hunger, health, and equipment through continuous salvage runs and crafting. Players gather raw materials, hunt for food, and construct shelters and defenses against environmental hazards. The cooperative structure rewards communication, as splitting tasks between base building, resource gathering, and exploration accelerates progress and improves the group's odds of enduring each session.
Early Access means systems and content will expand over time. PvP modes add competitive tension for groups seeking rivalry alongside cooperative play. The blend of exploration, resource management, and teamwork offers depth for players who enjoy long-term survival challenges in a lush, atmospheric setting.
