July 24, 2025 – CipSoft’s upcoming game, the zombie MMORPG Persist Online, is getting a new skill system. Starting with the next playtest, this will give players even more options for developing characters according to their own preferences. As before, points are earned by performing actions belonging to one of the game’s 25 skill trees, such as firing a shotgun or cutting down a tree. However, players can now invest these points much more freely into various passive and active skills.
