Publisher Funcom and developer The Bearded Ladies just released the Seed of Evil expansion for the award-winning game Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This marks the first time Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is available on Nintendo Switch.
Award Winning Game
The turn-based tactical adventure game received critical acclaim for its gameplay, artwork and captivating characters when it was released on December 2018. Set in post-apocalyptic Sweden, the player controls a group of mutants searching through the ruins of civilization for salvation or simply something to eat. Using a mixture of stealth and combat strategy, while evolving your characters through a series of interesting mutations, is paramount to overcoming the evil that is threatening to eradicate what is left of decent society.
Seed of Evil Expansion
The expansion, Seed of Evil, picks up where the original story left off, and introduces a new threat for the players to overcome, as powerful and ominous roots have emerged and seem to be taking control over peoples’ minds. Fortunately, our team of friendly mutants will be reinforced by the introduction of a new playable character. Big Khan is a badass, fire breathing moose, skilled at landing critical hits. He comes with several unique mutations and offers new and interesting interactions with Dux, Bormin and the other familiar faces.
“Mutant Year Zero is a gem. It has been a privilege to work with our friends at The Bearded Ladies on this project. They have poured all their passion, creativity and humor into this game, and the result is truly special.”
Funcom Chief Product Officer Lawrence Poe
“The feedback we got from players after we released the original game was overwhelming, which makes us all the more pleased to offer up Seed of Evil, the continuation of the Mutant Year Zero story. We have worked very hard on this and I feel confident that everyone who enjoyed the original game, will enjoy the expansion as well.”
Haraldur Thormundsson, CEO at The Bearded Ladies
