No More Room in Hell 2 News

Hello Responders!

June has been a thrilling month for No More Room in Hell 2!

We announced No More Room in Hell 2, a terrifying 8 player co-op action horror experience at Summer Games Fest with our trailer, along with Lever Games’ acquisition by Torn Banner. If you missed that trailer, we have you covered.

With our FIRST Dev Diary, we spoke about what fans can expect of No More Room in Hell 2, how we will be bringing Co-op with Consequences to your game, and what parts of the game excite us to work on!

The dev diary goes over the gameplay, co-op, permadeath, our first map & the grounded horror in NMR2.

Watch the whole dev diary below, or catch highlights on our social channels!

And we had a LIVESTREAM! Our TB Community Managers talked to Torn Banner and Lever Games veterans about No More Room in Hell 2, showed off part of the map in the game engine, and responded to YOUR questions!

It has been wonderful to connect with the community and share all of this with you, and we are looking forward to the Early Access launch on Halloween 2024.


As June comes to a close, we want to take a moment to let the community know what to expect between now and Early Access.

We will continue to have monthly Dev Blogs and will be engaging with our community on our social channels. Expect our next Dev Blogs to deliver deeper looks at what is in NMR2 and coming to Early Access with behind-the-scenes looks at parts of the game we haven’t shown yet! We will be a little quieter on our social channels over the coming months as we prepare for Halloween and the road to launch, but come by to say hi to us in our Discord and stay tuned!

Where players start affects how they experience the game. Whether your character wakes up in a wagon, wakes up with a new glowing hand, or comes to while riding a tram, your iconic start sets your expectations. It can also set the tension.

Responders start in the dark, and you’ll likely want to seek light like moths to flames. Jonathan Wiley, Art Lead, has taken us down one of the many paths towards the Gas Station, a location inspired by classic zombie media.

With branching paths and other interests just within Responders reach, decisions need to be made. Continue towards your destination, or try another route in the hopes of finding something you can use to defend yourself? Look for another Responder, or tackle an objective alone?

We can also see the world on pause. Players are in what Jon calls an active apocalypse, and we see how the world has reacted to the ensuing emergency, and how that has changed the landscape as we would know it.

Players can expect to find many points of interest and locations to investigate through the map, while figuring out where they’ve spawned and how to survive it.

No More Room in Hell 2 is coming to Early Access for Halloween 2024, and while there is still plenty in store to talk about in the months ahead, we wanted to take time to talk about what has been shown in further detail - Permadeath, 8 Player Co-op, and the map!

Permadeath
The No More Room in Hell 2 team wanted to bring in intense emotional feelings, and dive into the high stakes that a player will face during a zombie apocalypse. There is the chance to survive a match and make it to the extraction relatively safely , and bring that responder back into the game, a little wiser and a little more prepared, but there’s also a chance you’ll bring that responder back in, and lose them during the next match.

8 Player Co-op
Collaborate, Co-operate, and Survive together! With an emphasis on working together, Responders will need to find each other in the darkness and come together to solve objectives, eventually making their way to the Power Plant through zombie-infested locations.



Massive Map
The Power Plant is just the start. With multiple spawn points, places to explore, and objectives to complete, we’re excited for this to be the map we open up for Early Access. While we can’t reveal much about others yet, we’re very excited for what the future holds.

As we announced on Friday, June 7th, Lever Games is now a part of Torn Banner Studio!

We sat down to speak with Narrative Lead Matt Kazan (Originally of Lever Games) about the decision to look for assistance in developing No More Room in Hell 2, and what prompted finding someone that could work with Lever Games in the follow-up to their still playable award-winning 2011 Source Mod, and our Game Director Leif Walter about Torn Banner stepping into the horror game space.

A key driver to wanting to work with another studio is that game development takes a lot of time. When the developers were younger, they had more time, but now as they get older and have families, it became more difficult to work full time, then come home to work on No More Room in Hell 2. The team really wanted to take the time though, and find the studio that matched their passion and enthusiasm for the project.

For Torn Banner, it made sense. Here was a great opportunity to work on a horror game that aligned their key inspirations for a zombie game, had a shared heritage as modders, and a deep connection on how the two teams approached game design.

Like Zombies and Brains, Lever Games and Torn Banner came together to work on No More Room in Hell 2, continuing the vision of playing through a zombie movie with your friends to bring the cinematic experience to our community.
