No More Room in Hell 2 launches this summer for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC
Free Weekend set for April 30 to May 4.
Cooperative horror first-person shooter No More Room in Hell 2 will leave Early Access and launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store this summer, developer Torn Banner Studios announced. Green Man Gaming will publish the console release.
No More Room in Hell 2 first launched in Early Access for PC on October 22, 2024.
A Free Weekend for the Early Access version will run from April 30 to May 4, offering players a look at the first map in the new Survival Mode. Here are the latest details:
In this relentless new format, players must hold the line against swarming hordes to buy time for civilian rescues – where every tactical choice is the difference between life and permadeath. This joins the core Scenario Mode, where Responders venture deep into the outbreak to scavenge gear, tackle critical objectives, and extract vital supplies.
Since its last free weekend one year ago, the team has introduced more difficulty preferences to ease you into the apocalypse, including Casual Difficulty with Objective Completion Respawn, a dedicated Tutorial Gym for newly recruited Responders to practice shooting and melee combat, and Early Individual Extraction if the cooperative squad falls below 50 percent.
Torn Banner has also introduced Character Customization, meaning players can modify their Responder’s appearance and features before exploring two all-new maps. Melee weapons have been reworked for damage, stability impact, speed, and reach, alongside an overall weapon tier upgrade. Most importantly, the threat has evolved: zombies no longer lock onto individuals, instead prioritizing sound detection for a more demanding tactical experience.
New features and updates since the April 2025 Free Weekend include:
- Expanded Difficulty Options and Onboarding Improvements – the addition of Tutorial Gym, difficulty preferences, and a wider range of challenge settings including Casual and Classic variants with flexible respawn rules.
- Two New Maps – Broadway and Hospital have been added to the map rotation, giving players new environments to master and more variety across each run, increasing the map pool to five.
- Quality-of-Life Upgrades – The addition of match reconnect functionality to help players get back into the action with less friction.
- Character customization – A new addition to the game to give players more ways to personalize their experience and express their identity.
- Combat – Significantly overhauled with major reworks to melee and firearms, alongside the addition of throwing mechanics, creating a more dynamic, responsive and impactful moment-to-moment gameplay experience.
- New Zombie Types – The undead threat has evolved with the introduction of new zombie types including Prime Runners and Army Reserves, adding fresh pressure, unpredictability and combat variety.
- Progression – Reworked to deliver more meaningful long-term engagement, with new perk slots, a broader progression overhaul, and economy changes designed to improve player choice and reward flow.
- Bug Fixes – Over 8000 bug fixes have been made to substantially improve the game’s quality and performance.
“It’s been a year since No More Room In Hell 2‘s first Free Weekend, and we’ve worked tirelessly to broaden the gates of the apocalypse without sacrificing the grit that defines the franchise,” says Torn Banner Studios CEO and creative director Steve Piggott in a press release. “Whether you’re a returning survivor or a fresh recruit, we can’t wait for fans to face the horde again, from the tactical intensity of our brand-new Survival Mode to all-new weapons, zombies, maps and beyond.”

About
No More Room in Hell 2 is an intense and terrifying permadeath cooperative journey into the eerie darkness of zombie-infested zones. As an emergency responder you must survive, scavenge, stockpile and fulfill your mission—then repeat, each time in an ever-changing experience.
Multiple Diverse Maps
Find your way to your teammates with proximity voice chat and grow together in power. 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.
Witness the apocalypse unfolding across 5 richly crafted maps (with more to come):
- Lewiston, an urban map where players work to secure the safety of survivors across a ravaged city at golden sunset.
- Power Plant, set at the outskirts of a massive map in rural Pennsylvania at midnight.
- Pottsville, a brooding suburban town full of claustrophobic encounters with the undead at dawn.
- Broadway, a fully urban map set in the terrifying depths of Queens, New York in the dead of night!
- Beaulieu Hospital, a daytime map set in a sprawling medical complex overrun by the undead.
Locate cooperative allies, then gather weapons, and equipment to survive the rising threat, moving your squad towards each map’s finale.
Objectives unfold as iconic horror movie scenes at abandoned gas stations, bars, military checkpoints and more, as you earn better gear to increase your odds of survival and restore infrastructure to keep humanity alive.
Permadeath and Infection
Every mission puts your character at risk of dying—forever.
The undead can infect you, setting you on a race against time to find pills or a gene therapy cure—before your dead body rises up against your allies.
Looting supplies levels up your responder, so long as they survive a mission. With every run you improve your chances for survival with access to equipment caches and starting gear.
Do you put your character’s life on the line to save a squad member? Rewards increase as more squadmates extract, but the risks of permadeath are ever-present.
This is cooperative play with consequences.
