Powered by Unreal Engine 5, No More Room in Hell 2 takes place at the onset of an immersive, active zombie apocalypse. With a combination of classic zombie enemies in a grounded yet terrifying survival story, this true PvE 8-player co-op game will instill terror into players while offering fresh, tactical gameplay, high-stakes permadeath and intricate combat design. Live together or die alone as players must survive, scavenge, stockpile and extract - then repeat, each time in an ever-changing experience that combines survival horror and rogue-like genres with a terrifying socially emergent experience unfolding over proximity VOIP.

Set within a massive map with three richly detailed regions and multiple start points, each playthrough provides countless surprises and scares. With dozens of iconic horror movie scenes playing out as places of interest, unique objectives and rewards and secrets, players must start out alone in the dark and make their way towards the center of the map in the hope of achieving extraction. Through the perilous journey, they solve puzzles, encounter fellow survivors and slay hordes of the undead, in this endlessly replayable horror experience. During early access, the game will be regularly updated with new content and features, including the launch of an additional map where the story of the outbreak will further be revealed.

Now a commercial release, in the sequel to the 2011 award-winning Source mod, players start isolated in the dark, find their friends and survive - in a dynamic, endlessly replayable zombie apocalypse. With enemies and map locations inspired by classic zombie movies in a grounded yet terrifying survival story, the game will instill terror into players while offering fresh, tactical gameplay, high-stakes permadeath and intricate combat design that rewards cunning, teamwork and grit.

Each match, you’ll go from shaking solo in the darkness with only a beer bottle, to forming a fully stocked co-op squad with assault rifles and explosives. An ever-present threat remains: if a responder dies, all of their progress is lost. This is co-op with consequences. 

Torn Banner Studios announced that No More Room in Hell 2 will exit Early Access and release at 1.0 on August 11, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC at $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99, complete with cross-play functionality across all platforms for the ultimate co-op experience.

Ahead of its official launch, No More Room in Hell 2 is available for pre-order on the Xbox store today with a 20% discount. Launch-day offers are available from 11 August with 35% off on Steam and the Epic Games Store and 20% off on Xbox and Playstation Stores.

This milestone release delivers a wealth of new content and gameplay overhauls, capping off two years of continuous refinement since the game first launched in 2024. Backed by over 8,000 community-driven bug fixes and performance optimisations, 1.0 introduces vital quality-of-life upgrades including overhauled difficulty tiers, match reconnect, an 'Unstuck' button, an improved UI and more. 

Fans of the permadeath co-op can expect the permanent addition of the action-packed Survival Mode. Originally previewed during the Free Weekend event, this deadly new game mode pushes squads to their limits as they defend strategic speaker towers from an ever-growing horde of the undead, buying precious time for civilian evacuations. 

Designed to offer a smoother onboarding experience, new tutorial grounds and re-tuned difficulty tiers give first-time players room to learn the ropes. The update also introduces an all-new Solo Mode, providing opportunities for veterans and newcomers alike to master map layouts at their own pace - completely free from the brutal threat of permadeath - before braving the high-stakes co-op progression.

“Reaching 1.0 is a monumental milestone for No More Room in Hell 2. Throughout Early Access, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with our community to refine, polish, and expand the game into the ultimate high-stakes co-op horror experience.” says Steve Piggott, CEO & Creative Director at Torn Banner Studios. “This launch brings the definitive version of the game we always envisioned. We are so excited to finally bring the brutal, 8-player survival nightmare to life, and we can't wait to see how squads handle the horror when they step into the zone.”

Designed with feature parity at its core, the title’s console debut ensures PlayStation and Xbox players will experience the exact same gameplay systems, survival mechanics, and in-game achievements as PC players. Full cross-play integration unites PC, PlayStation, and XBOX into one shared player pool, delivering faster matchmaking and total freedom to team up on any platform.

“We are incredibly proud to support the debut console launch of No More Room in Hell 2,” says Chris Jones, EVP of Publishing at Green Man Gaming. “Hardcore, tactical horror has traditionally been a PC-dominated space, leaving console players largely underserved when it comes to high-stakes survival. But with this launch, we are thrilled to finally open the quarantine zone to console audiences and offer them a truly uncompromising survival horror challenge.”
