Undawn is an open-world survival game that encourages players to search for resources, construct bases, and join forces with other players as they strive to survive in a world that has been altered by radiation. Players have the opportunity to pre-register for early access to the game and receive rewards, and the game had a closed beta testing period in April. As fans watched the trailer of the game, they found an uncanny resemblance to Smith’s film, I Am Legend.

The post-apocalyptic film sees the King Richard actor surviving against the blood-thirsty zombies. Similarly, in the game as well, Trey Jones is going to help save the survivors from the uninvited evils. “We are not your dinner. Period,” says Smith in the official trailer that he also posted. Fighting the mutants and saving the survivors is something Smith has done before as Robert Neville.
