Join the team behind Blight: Survival

Behaviour Interactive is proud to partner with Haenir Studio to co-develop and publish Blight: Survival — their highly anticipated debut IP. The game takes place in the no man’s land between two desperate kingdoms locked in a ceaseless war. Within this realm of death and decay, a new strain of Blight has erupted from the remains of the fallen. Fed and strengthened by the blood that’s been spilled, it rapidly spreads – turning man into monster.
