Zero Hour
The full launch for Zero Hour is finally here with the official 1.0 update pushed out for those who have been helping build up Zero Hour
It has been a long few years here for Zero Hour since it hit its Early Access, but if you have hung on for this one then you will be glad to know that the game is fully launching out there now. On September 9th, today, the official 1.0 update is out there from AttritoM7 Productions on the PC and you can join up with nine other players to head out into a new first-person shooter experience. That or you can load up Zero Hour and join up with nine other AI bots to have all of the shooting fun that the game has to offer. The choice is yours but I am sure this one is more about the multiplayer aspect of things and less about the single-player. Especially when you see how you will need your squad to work as a solid unit if you plan to make it through the various locations in Bangladesh.
To go with this new update for Zero Hour, we have some of the newer gameplay to share with you so you can be up to speed on how it all looks and flows in its full state here. Although, it does sound as if the team will be pushing out even more updates now that the game is live for all. We are going to want to have all of that bomb-defusal action or door-breaking fun in the mix. Not to mention having our own K9 buddy to help out along the way in Zero Hour. All fun features of the game even if it still looks like many of the other modern shooters we have out there already. The twist, though, should all be in the AI of the enemies and adding into the horrors of the way with the realistic tactics that should play out. Have a look and see if you are going to throw down for the game now or what should be downloading now if you threw down a few years ago and helped to shape the game to the point it is today.
Zero Hour — 1.0 Launch Trailer
Welcome to Zero Hour, a tactical FPS with online team-based action gameplay set across various locations in Bangladesh with real-life scale and resource management. Join forces with up to 10 players in intense cooperative missions, or go solo with up to 9 AI squad mates. Experience hostage rescue and bomb defusal missions that require calculated strategies in the dynamic 5v5 PvP mode. Shape your route through compelling situations by interacting with story-driven NPCs and engaging with various objectives.
- Intense PvP Action - Intense PvP Action - Engage in intense 5v5 PvP battles across various game modes, including bomb defusal, hostage rescue, and deathmatch. Experience competitive gameplay with a comprehensive leaderboard and tier system. Choose your loadout wisely, as limited guns and gadgets add a strategic layer—you'll lose them upon dying, making every decision critical.

Strategically utilize the breaker switch to control building lights, adding tactical depth to your missions. Choose from over 23 distinct weapons and 18 utilities, emphasizing resource management and team coordination. Fine-tune your arsenal with detailed weapon customization, modifying rails, sights, and foregrips for optimal performance. Immerse yourself in realism by checking magazine bullet counts and repacking magazines for efficiency.
- Dynamic Door Mechanics - Doors are your lifeline and your barrier. Infiltrate with caution as terrorists set traps and alarms. Meanwhile, attackers have an arsenal of over four breach options: kick, door rammer, C2 explosives, and backkick combined with grenades, ensuring a variety of strategies to navigate these vital entry points.
- Dynamic Suspect AI - Face a variety of suspects, each with distinct behaviors. Some even wield suicide bombs, while others utilize sniper tactics in long-range maps. They even have the ability to sense incoming fire and strategically time their advances ensuring maximum safety. The dynamic nature of suspects keeps you on your toes, with no guarantee of their next move.
- Your K9 Companion - The K9 Attack Dog feature brings an immersive and emotional experience to your missions. As the game starts, you're assigned as a dog handler, initiating your journey with a small, nameable puppy. Initially resting in a cage, the puppy soon becomes interactive and starts playing around, following the player through the training facility. After successfully completing three missions, the canine companion becomes available for mission deployment.
Zero Hour V1.0 is available today for PC via Steam.
Where do you stand on things for Zero Hour and will it offer up more than the other shooter titles out there can? Will the realistic take on Bangladesh be a welcomed take on things or will that setting get old fast for many players? How well will the AI in the game function out there and will it keep each round of play feeling truly unique as it all claims? Take a few shots down in the comment section and then let the discussion flow out there. If we get anything more for Zero Hour, we will try to add it all to the site for you.
