A New Chapter for The Fun Pimps and 7 Days to Die

[Hated]

Survivors,

We’re excited to share some big news. The Fun Pimps have officially joined Behaviour Interactive.

7 Days to Die started back in Thanksgiving 2012, when two brothers cooked up a game idea at the dinner table. Thirteen years later, that idea has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined, with over 20 million copies sold and a community that’s been with us every step of the way.

There is still so much we want to do, and we’ve always believed the future of our game could be even greater than what we’ve shipped so far. This partnership means more support for 7 Days to Die moving forward. We’ll continue to lead development, just as we always have, but now, with Behaviour’s help, we’ll be able to grow the team and deliver even more for the game and our community.

Nothing about the heart of the game is changing. Our vision stays the same, our team stays the same, and our focus remains on the community that has carried 7 Days to Die for over a decade. This is simply the next step in a long journey, and we’re excited to take it with you.

More details are coming soon, including a Reddit AMA on 3/25/26. Feel free to submit your questions ahead of time at r/7daystodie and we’ll answer them live during the session.

In the meantime, check out this message from Richard about the new partnership:

Good luck with the new partnership!

 

[Adam the Waster]

I think it's was a long time coming i just hope it works out well! Hopefully means faster updates and more horror!

 

[Dark Sun]

Wishing you the best!

I'm sure we'll get more info in the coming months, but is there any indication if this is a merger or an acquisition by Behaviour?

Edit: It seems to be an acquisition

 

[Professor-Pip]

I hope this works out well for TFP and the players!

 

[Uncle Al]

Wow. Didn't foresee TFP getting a publisher after all this time.

Fingers crossed they're sensible enough to leave your creative freedom intact while doing all the boring stuff a good publisher should do...

 

[Space4Ace]

So The Fun Pimps are now part of Behaviour Interactive. I hope to see something good come out of it... Time will tell.
Hopefully it also means better communication with the community.

I am hopeful. We shall see!

well...■■■■...now it makes sense why they have not been talking. Hopefully "they" at least fix what they broke with 2.5 that has made the game very hard to play on console...before the new owners announce the game is done. "in due time" my ■■■■.

Not even going to do the AMA on their own ■■■■ing forum

does the merger effect current roadmap?

 

[Jost Amman]

I've just one comment...

This is the beginning of the end basicly

From Behavior’s press release it looks like things are staying the same up to the Threat Update (bandits) of the original roadmap. After that, there may be changes.

I just hope they finally fix what they broke with 2.5 so console can enjoy the mid to late game again. it's only been a couple of months...not like we wanted to get our money's worth at some point.

More like the end of the 14-year beginning. Act 2 is about to start.

guess "we" will have to go on Reddit to find out...since the brothers are not showing "us" the consideration of answering questions on their own forum.
