The announcement of the 1.0 roadmap for7 Days to Diehas left fans a bit confused about one aspect. After nearly 12 years in alpha, the game is set to officially release on July 22, 2025. Despite the milestone, many players are skeptical about whether the game is truly ready for a full release.
The community has pointed out that important features like the story mode have been postponed to 2025, raising questions about the game’s readiness for a full release.
7 Days to Die Will Not Be Getting a Story Mode on Release
After nearly 12 years in alpha,7 Days to Dieis finally set to leave Early Access with its 1.0 update, dubbed the Alpha Exodus. The official release date for the PC version is August 12, 2025, with the console versions following a month later.
The Fun Pimps, the game’s developers, recently showed a roadmap in an officialblog postdetailing new features and mechanics set to be implemented over the next few years. While this might sound promising, the reality has been disappointing for many.
No bandits or significant story until 2025Feels like I have been waiting for bandit ai in the game for half a decade or more at this point
The absence of a story mode in the 1.0 release is particularly baffling to fans. Many argue that such a vital component should be included in the official launch, not postponed to a later date.
The fact that you guys are upping the price without adding any actual content like story or bandits and calling this 1.0 is sketchy AF.
The delay has led to criticisms that the developers, The Fun Pimps, are labeling an incomplete product as a full release to justify higher prices and potential DLCs, further fueling dissatisfaction.
Fans argue that this key feature shouldbe part of the full release, as its exclusion feels like a significant oversight.

One of theother criticized aspects of this roadmapis the prolonged delay of the “Bandits” feature, now pushed to the second quarter of 2025.
Fans express frustration over the continued postponements, arguing that features promised during the Kickstarter campaign have yet to arrive.
Steam workshop support is another hot topic among players. Many believe that mod support should be a higher priority, as mods have played a significant role in enhancing the game’s longevity and enjoyment.
The developers’ focus on other updates instead of integrating full Steam workshop support has added to the frustration.
