7 Days to Die is an open-world game that is a combination of first-person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and RPG. Whilst this isn't necessarily unique compared to several more survival games out there, like DayZ, or Sons of the Forest, 7 Days to Die is unique in that it is developed not by a small dedicated group of experienced software developers, all working under the name of 'The Fun Pimps'.

But like any game, even ones in early access like 7 Days To Die, it has regular updates, and fans (millions of them) want to know what changes are made when every new patch or hotfix is released. That's where we'll hopefully come in, as below, we'll be keeping you up to date on the latest patch notes for the game.
