Blight: Survival title screen with dark medieval atmosphere

Blight: Survival Playtest Opens for Players

Posted on March 20, 2025September 23, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl

Blight: Survival Opens Its Brutal Medieval World to Playtesters

Haenir Studio is inviting players to participate in the early playtesting phase of Blight: Survival, their new cooperative extraction-lite game set in a brutal alternate 14th century. With rogue-lite elements and a dark, war-torn setting, the game challenges players to fight, scavenge, and survive in a land where the dead don’t stay buried.

About the Game World

Related coverage: Indie Spotlight.

Related: Indie Spotlight.

The game is set in a forsaken no man’s land between two warring kingdoms. A new, twisted form of the Blight has taken root here, reanimating fallen soldiers into terrifying monsters. The result is a battlefield where every fight could be your last, and every decision has consequences.

Gameplay Mechanics and Design

  • Rogue-lite structure: Each run forces a choice between pushing deeper or retreating with your loot.
  • Extraction-lite gameplay: Tactical planning is crucial—whether to escape or risk it all for better rewards.
  • Cooperative combat: Team up with others to battle the infected and navigate hostile terrain.
  • Persistent progression: Upgrade your character and gear between sessions.
