How to Open a Port in Your Router for The Survivalists

The Survivalists is Team17's Open-World, Action, Adventure, Survival, and Strategy game with a release date in 2020.

The Survivalists has the following styles of play.

In an open world style of game the player is allowed to roam freely through a normally massive environment. This style of games is usually not on rails, meaning that the player gets to go anywhere and solve problems in the order that they choose.
Games that are considered action are all about centering the player in the middle of an evolving situation.
Adventure games are very heavily story driven. You are usually the main character and are the one who discovers the true plot as the game progresses.
Survival games are usually focused on resource management, such as ammo and health, and occasionally include elements of stealth. They tend to be based on either supernatural enemies, have horror themes, or be post-apocalyptic. The primary gameplay mechanic is to simply stay alive.
In a strategy game the player is required to use skillful thinking and a strong focus on planning ahead in order to achieve victory over their opponent. They can be either single player against bots or multiplayer against other players. They come in both turn-based and real-time versions, the former allowing each player a chance to complete their turn, the latter having a continuous running clock without stopping. Resource management and exploration are common themes in strategy games.
