Taal is a fantasy map based on a real 12 × 12 km area around the [Taal volcano](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ekP9RgQWY4TDXmsp6) in the Philippines. As a fantasy map, some aspects may be close to reality, but certain liberties have been taken for technical, financial, and gameplay reasons.

The map is designed to be a challenging survival environment with low loot, ever-present environmental hazards such as the infected, but also pandas and dholes that will make your life miserable. Its size of 12 x 12 km (144 km²) dotted with islands allows for compartmentalized gameplay that will delight try-harder and demanding player communities.

Discover the events leading up to the chaos, fight humans and infected predators, and protect yourself from the unforgiving environment by escaping earthquakes, acid rain, and tropical storms.
