We have more to share about No More Room in Hell 2 and the team developing it with our first official Dev Diary: Co-op with Consequences! Hear from the game’s development team as they go into greater detail about what you can expect in the active apocalypse.

No More Room in Hell 2 is an intense permadeath co-op 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.

As Matt Kazan (Narrative Lead) puts it in the Dev Diary, “Imagine playing through a Zombie movie with your friends.”

Highlights from the dev diary -

[h3]Permadeath[/h3]
No More Room in Hell 2 brings true Co-op with Consequences with the use of permadeath. Leif Walter (Game Director) explains “You need some stakes, there needs to be consequences for failure. And that’s where permadeath comes in, where we got really inspired by some rogue-like games”. The addition of permadeath creates an interesting gameplay dynamic, Steve Piggott (Torn Banner CEO & Creative Director) adds: “So it almost feels like it’s a cliff that you’re constantly climbing and it’s just hard to stay on that cliff because you’re losing the character after a couple of runs.”

[h3]Social Dynamics[/h3]
8 players will come together to explore a large map, working together to survive against the horde while completing objectives - often with some interesting social friction. “There are some social dynamics at play where there is no hostility between players, but you might have your own agenda, you might want to complete your own goals. What will your group want to do?” - Leif Walter.

[h3]An Ocean of Darkness[/h3]
At its core, No More Room in Hell 2 is a horror experience, and lighting, or a lack thereof, is as much a character in the game as any player, and plays a vital role to the setting.
“We really wanted to wrap the player in this feeling where it’s so dark and it’s so high contrast that the player can’t trust his surroundings.” - Pat Ingoldsby (Art Director).

No More Room in Hell 2 is an intense permadeath co-op 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.

No More Room in Hell 2’s original developer, Lever Games, was acquired by Torn Banner, the studio behind Chivalry 1 & 2, and the original “Age of Chivalry” mod. Led by a core team of veterans from Torn Banner and Lever Games, the majority of the previous No More Room in Hell 2 team continues to work at the studio on the sequel.

A commercial release in the same world as the 2011 award-winning Source mod, players start isolated in the dark, find their friends, and try to survive in a dynamic, endlessly replayable zombie apocalypse. With enemies and map locations inspired by classic horror cinema, No More Room in Hell 2 will instill terror into players while offering fresh, tactical gameplay, high-stakes permadeath, and intricate combat design that rewards teamwork and grit.




Find your way to your teammates with proximity voice chat and grow together in power. Each match, you’ll go from spawning in the darkness with a flashlight, to forming a fully stocked 8-player co-op squad with assault rifles and explosives. An ever-present threat remains: if a responder dies, all of their progress is lost.

“No More Room in Hell 2 continues the dark, grounded aesthetic and intense action horror approach of the original game while expanding its vision dramatically,” said Steve Piggott, CEO and creative director at Torn Banner Studios. “We’re excited to be the new shepherds of a franchise we adored as fans and we’re thrilled to take up the mission of capturing the iconic horror of classic zombie cinema. We want to blow people away with our first co-op game, pushing Torn Banner’s skill in multiplayer action to a whole new level.”

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, No More Room in Hell 2 is a co-op game with consequences coming to early access on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store this Halloween.


We look forward to sharing more with our community over the next month with more details coming during the PC Gaming Show on June 9th, a Torn Banner Studios Twitch livestream on June 11th, plus multiple blogs exploring details of No More Room in Hell 2.

Watch yourselves out there, Responders

It's a little weird to get an "announce trailer" for a game we've known has been coming for years. Heck, a teaser trailer for Torn Banner's co-op zombie sequel appeared way back in 2016...
