The game is set in an open-world post-apocalyptic area of Oregon two years after the start of a global pandemic where former outlaw-turned-drifter Deacon St. John discovers the possibility of his wife Sarah still being alive, which leads Deacon on a quest to find her but the broken road isn’t made easy by hordes of Freakers, Marauders, Anarchists and Rippers to name a few. Although the game was originally meant to release in 2018 and underwent several delays, it finally saw the light of day last April and in the year since its launch, fans of the game have come together to share their in-game experiences and love for the title.
