On Steam, the developer confirmed it plans to remain in early access for “at least one year.” It will include permadeath characters, multiple enemy types, ‘unique “enemy encounter” moments’, various melee and ranged weapons, a dismemberment system for zombies, traps, explosives, and an evolving narrative. Only one map, Power Plant, is available, but it will have “over a dozen places of interest” with “puzzle-like objectives and rewards.”

Torn Banner plans to include additional maps, weapons, storylines, and customization in the full version. While the early access pricing is yet to be announced, it will be “reasonable” (with an expected increase en route to the full version). Head here for more details on the title’s co-op mechanics, combat, and more.

Featuring various members of the horror shooter’s development team, the video offers yet more glimpses at No More Room in Hell 2’s gameplay, with new bits and pieces also being revealed on its combat (which, unsurprisingly for a Torn Banner game, is quite a point of emphasis here), how the game will introduce meaningful gameplay variation across different runs, how co-op will work, and more. Check out the trailer below for more details.

No More Room in Hell 2 is set to launch for PC in early access this Halloween. More details on the game will be shared later in the week with a livestream from Torn Banner Studios on June 11.

No More Room in Hell 2 supports up to eight players and features a large map teeming with the undead. Coordinating with your teammates, stocking up on supplies and fighting for survival is key. There are explosives, guns and other items to discover, though beware – die, and all your progress is lost thanks to permadeath.

Some rogue-lite elements are present, like leveling up your responder through looting and offering access to starting gear and equipment. Still, this isn’t like Left 4 Dead – multiple zombies can be lethal, ammo is limited, and you’re not the tankiest human.

No More Room in Hell 2 will receive more details at the PC Gaming Show on June 9th. Torn Banner will also host a livestream on June 11th. Stay tuned in the meantime.

Popular Source engine mod No More Room in Hell could see its sequel releasing very soon, at least for early access. It recently received an official Steam page with the release date listed as “coming soon.” The current plan is to remain in early access for “about one year,” though developer Lever Games noted that many of its features are already complete.

The current goal is to add more maps and game modes along with constant optimization, both graphically and network-wise. When the early access version lands, there will be maps like Brooklyn Heights and Night of the Living Dead available. New weapons, from firearms to throwables and melee weapons, will also be added along with cosmetics.

Zombies will also be improved to have better navigation, new abilities and behaviors, and even some randomness to their wardrobes. How feature-packed and optimized the early access version will be remains to be seen. But with how popular its 2011 predecessor provided to be, No More Room in Hell 2 could perform above expectations. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
