Dustwind: Resistance is set to launch in June 2025 on PC (Steam, Microsoft Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5), bringing brutal, real-time tactical combat with pause back to the post-apocalyptic wasteland. A standalone single-player experience and spiritual successor to Dustwind – The Last Resort, this new entry focuses on tactical squad-based warfare, gritty storytelling, and flexible playstyles—from explosive assaults to clever stealth.
“This is the game Dustwind fans have been waiting for. Streamlined, immersive, and focused entirely on single-player action, Dustwind: Resistance delivers intense tactical combat in a new, fully-fledged campaign. Whether you want to sneak, snipe, or crush your enemies with an armored car, the Resistance has your back.”
— Andreas Heldt, Head of Z-Software GmbH
