“I am incredibly excited to work with the amazing people at Onyx Path on Dystopia Rising: Evolved and many other projects to come. Dystopia Rising started as a homegrown passion project that was created from meager beginnings, and with our new partnership, there is no limit to how far the Dystopia Rising can grow. Eddy’s focus on inclusivity and their passion for the project has reinvigorated my love of the world.” – Michael Pucci

Dystopia Rising (DR) is set in a post-zombie apocalypse world where characters fight to survive in horrific conditions. Created in 2009, DR has enjoyed a cult following of players who immerse themselves in live-action horror scenarios. Every weekend, DR players reside in survivor settlements to step away from the modern world and into a unique post-apocalyptic experience. Though it began as an event, DR has become so popular the property has spawned novels and the upcoming RPG.

Both digital and print editions of Dystopia Rising: Evolution is scheduled for a 2019 release.
