Nexon Announces Sudden Attack Zero Point, a Free-to-Play Tactical FPS Launching on Steam in 2025
Nexon has officially unveiled Sudden Attack Zero Point, a modern reboot of its classic tactical shooter Sudden Attack, first released in 2005. The new title will launch later this year on PC via Steam as a free-to-play first-person shooter with an emphasis on fast-paced gunplay, classic competitive modes, and robust weapon customization.
Sudden Attack was one of the early pioneers of online tactical shooters in Asia, known for its snappy movement, bomb defusal modes, and tight team coordination. It was sort of the Counter-Strike of Asia (along with CrossFire). Zero Point reintroduces the series to a global audience with overhauled visuals, a redesigned loadout system, and new social and economic features.
What to expect from Sudden Attack Zero Point:
- Classic Game Modes:
- Core gameplay revolves around bomb defusal and Team Death Match (TDM), requiring teamwork, quick decision-making, and precise shooting
- Additional modes are also in development, offering a wider variety of multiplayer scenarios
- Weapon Customization System:
- Players can modify weapons across several attributes including recoil control, reload speed, and appearance
- The same base weapon can behave differently based on upgrades and preferences, creating distinct tactical options
- Black Market System:
- In-game economy allows players to trade weapon skins, parts, and upgrades earned through gameplay
- Players can build a personalized arsenal while gaining a competitive edge through careful loadout tuning
- Fast-Paced Combat Focus:
- Designed for minimal downtime between engagements
- Emphasizes fluid action and responsive mechanics across all game modes
With Sudden Attack Zero Point, Nexon aims to modernize the core appeal of its flagship FPS while introducing customization and trading systems that align with current shooter trends. The combination of skill-based modes and flexible loadouts positions the game to appeal to both longtime fans and new competitive FPS players.
The game is slated to launch on Steam later this year. Players can add Sudden Attack Zero Point to their wishlist now and view the teaser trailer via the official Steam page.
