Hello Responders!

It’s been a little over a year since No More Room in Hell 2’s last free weekend, and one of the most popular requests from our community has been to bring the game to more players in the wider gaming world.

We’re excited to share that we are officially headed to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series consoles as part of our 1.0 launch – slated for Summer 2026 – with Green Man Gaming as our publishing partner on those platforms! We can also confirm that native controller support will be added to PC for 1.0, as well as crossplay meaning wherever your friends play, you all can fight to survive together!

To commemorate all this news, we are hosting another free weekend starting tomorrow, April 30th through May 4th!

Since last free weekend, we’ve worked alongside players to improve and expand features including:

• 4 difficulty options, offering more ways to play

• Tutorial Gym, to allow for self-guided learning

• 2 new Objective maps: Broadway and Hospital

• Responder customization, making each character your own

• Overhauled melee and firearm combat

• Added more zombie types

• Shipped over 8000 bug fixes!

Survival Preview

During the free weekend, players can try Survival Mode on one of the multiple maps coming at 1.0 for the first time! In this experience, speakers attract waves of zombies away from population centers and into the waiting arms of combat-focused Responders, narratively assisting the events of our Objective scenarios. These maps are more chaotic and fast-paced while still offering the core match and meta progression players have come to expect from No More Room in Hell 2. Here’s how the mode plays:

• Responders arrive at the scene with a few minutes to spare, enough to loot up and prepare defenses around the first set of speakers. A supply drop with added support from the CRC is available as well.

• Once the wave starts, players will have to hold out for five minutes against the onslaught to protect the speakers as they broadcast. Each area has special traps and defensive options that can be used when pressure gets too tough.’

• After a successful wave, the CRC will send an additional supply drop and players can move to the next objective with a few moments to breathe. After three waves, your distraction is a success and a helicopter comes to extract you. If you fail two waves, early extraction opens as a way to prevent disaster.

Preview Map: Flooded

Set in an industrial complex overcome by recent storms in rural Pennsylvania, Flooded offers players their first glimpse into Survival. Large multi-floor buildings, ransacked cargo containers, and abandoned machinery all offer unique ways to handle the undead and keep them distracted until the CRC’s nearby mission into a power plant is complete. The groundwater present throughout the whole map makes for a new challenge, as zombies are harder to confirm as slain and dry spots to comfortably share loot are rare.
