Level Zero: Extraction—an extraction shooter that combines horror elements with the genre’s iconic formula—released mid-August to a relatively mediocre reception. It’s still sitting at ‘Mixed’ reviews on Steam. But since its launch, developer Doghowl Games has worked diligently to improve the core experience and include additional content, as per requests by the community. Here’s everything new in Level Zero: Extraction since launch!
Everything New in Level Zero: Extraction Since Release
Since launch, fans have requested numerous features and mechanics in Level Zero: Extraction, especially a solo play mode, improved movement, and faster access to weapons. Well, Doghowl listened to its community, and we’re now on update 0.5.0 of Level Zero: Extraction and the game feels better and more fluid overall.
- Solo Mode: Featuring nine mercenaries and a single alien vying for loot and escape on the map.
- Movement Improvements: A complete rework of the mercenary animation systems for more fluid movement.
- Gunplay Improvements: Greater feedback when shooting, switching weapons, aiming, and more.

When Does Level Zero: Extraction Wipe?
Level Zero: Extraction will wipe periodically with major updates as the game’s ongoing development continues. The most recent update occurred recently, with the 0.5.0 update.
This is a total wipe, meaning all player progress and vendor reputation are entirely erased, so everyone must start fresh!
