ORMOD Directive just got an amazing trailer, and you can feel the sense of survival coming straight from it. For people who have been gaming on PC, this game might remind you of titles such as Rust or even Hurtworld, the latter being quite a ton of wasted potential for what could have been a Rust competitor. Thankfully, the fact that ORMOD Directive is coming soon in 2026 means that the Multiplayer Survival genre will get quite wild, perhaps we may even see something new raising from the ashes of this once popular genre.
ORMOD Directive coming soon
If you like surviving and adapting to an every changing world that is meant to be infinite according to the developers, then this is the game for you. While true random and infinity are impossible to reach on a computer, you can always generate persistent worlds that feel different each time that they get made. Procedural generation has been with us for decades, and it has been a staple in gaming for quite a while, people love the concept because not only it is efficient in resources but its an ethical way of making something with just some random math.
Unlike people who role play being creators by trying to use generative “AI” and end up missing the sales target severely, the people behind ORMOD Directive seems to have put some care into the game they are making. Nobody can play it yet, and it is pretty much left to assumption on how things will go, but I can assure you that so far this is a modernization of the usual Rust formula, even the developers agree with that fact in the comment section. If you are curious and want to try something that feels like Rust but isn’t Rust, then you should wishlist ORMOD Directive on Steam.
