The survival MMO “Undawn” makes Will Smith a legendary survivor. Fans thought the accompanying trailer was for a new movie.

What kind of game is this?

  • Undawn (Steam, Mobile) is a survival MMO set in a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world.
  • As one of the last survivors, you join the so-called “Raven Squad” and fight zombies as well as other players in the open game world.
  • To ensure your survival, you collect weapons and supplies. You have to try not to starve or die of thirst and keep an eye on your character’s mood.
  • There are also vehicles that you can find in the open world and use to get around

    • Undawn is developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studios. The release of the survival MMO is scheduled for June 15, 2023 (via Steam).

    Will Smith and his annoying neighbors

    What does the new trailer show? The new Undawn trailer has appeared on Will Smith’s official YouTube channel, showing the actor’s role in the game.

    The trailer begins as a kind of promotional video for a vacation paradise where Will Smith wants to sell you a hotel room. We see a sandy beach with a beautiful sea view, people enjoying champagne in a pool, and a man and woman exploring the wilderness of the place.

    Meanwhile, Will Smith lies in a tent reading books, fishing and raving about powerful vehicles. We also see an old Ford Mustang and a motorcycle – but then the actor finally reveals to us what awaits us in the world of Undawn: annoying neighbors.

    The visuals of a live-action film are transformed into the graphics of the game and we see these annoying undead neighbors nibbling on the odd vacationer or two. Finally, Will Smith appears, brandishing a baseball bat, and declares war on the zombies along with his heavily armed team, the Raven Squad.

    “We’ve been waiting for a video game like this since I Am Legend came out”

    What are the reactions? There are some users on YouTube who really liked the trailer. In fact, in a comment with almost 200 likes, one user said he thought it was a movie and not a game. In general, the cooperation seems to be well received by some fans.

  • “I thought it was a movie at first […].”
  • “We all agree that he never disappoints us with his content.”
  • “I never thought I’d live to see the day Will Smith star in a zombie game, what an amazing time to be alive… I’m in!”
  • “I grew up watching Mr. Smith in the late 80’s and now I’m going to play with him or as him in a video game. Life couldn’t get much better than this.”
  • “Will, we’ve been waiting for a video game like this since I Am Legend came out.”

    • What role does Will Smith play in Undawn? In Undawn, Will Smith takes on the role of legendary survivor Trey Jones, a member of Raven Squad who prepares players for their journey and survival in the post-apocalyptic world.

    Already in a first trailer, which appeared on the Undawn YouTube channel, Will Smith’s character proved to be very battle-hardened and also took on large, mutant zombies.
