No More Room in Hell 2 News

[p]Hello Responders,[/p][p]Hospital launched one week ago, and player feedback highlighted a few glaring issues that we wanted to address with a hot fix (0.7.0.1). These fixes focus on combat, the legibility of an objective in Beaulieu (in all languages) and an uncommon crash issue.[/p][p][/p][p]Bug Fixes[/p][p]Combat[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where hits against zombies would register inconsistently[/p]

[p]Gameplay[/p]

• [p]Reduced the number of bodies required to complete the Beaulieu Hospital wards.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where players who entered deep water would continue to experience water effects, including getting killed if they go too low in the map which could block players in Power Plant and Hospital.[/p]

[p]Localization[/p]

• [p]Updated some objective strings to ensure that the English names of objective are shown in the compass and match the in-world English signage for the ward (for example, “Emergency Room” will be present in the compass and lobby signage regardless of language set).[/p]

[p]UI & UX[/p]

• [p]Increased the range where objective markers would appear for bodies in Beaulieu Hospital.[/p]
• [p]Added objective markers to guide players to the wards in Beaulieu Hospital.[/p]

[p]Server & Client Stability[/p]

• [p]Fixed an uncommon crash during extraction in Beaulieu Hospital.[/p]

[p][/p][p]No More Room in Hell 2 is still in Early Access, and your feedback is shaping every step forward. Report bugs in-game, on Discord, or at nmrih2.com/support.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay safe out there,[/p][p]The NMRIH2 Dev Team[/p][p]
[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello Responders,[/p][p]The doors to Beaulieu open and 0.7.0 is live! Hospital began its conception in 2024, and over time it’s been honed down and refined into our game’s fifth map! [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Hospital is an update that touches upon every aspect of No More Room in Hell 2. 0.7.0 features new features like the Beaulieu Hospital map and Match Reconnect, reworks to parts of Powerplant, balance changes that impact combat, health, and inventory, an optimization pass to character models, and a large swath of bug fixes. [/p][p]
[/p][p]Developer Note: Beaulieu[/p][p]
[/p][p]Beaulieu is a large multistory hospital that features a courtyard at its center. Over time, renovations of different sections of the hospital have created an old-meets-new aesthetic. The street facing exterior and lobby all look and feel brand new, while setting foot into the courtyard feels like you’re walking into the ‘50’s.[/p][p][/p][p]Research at Beaulieu looked promising, and rumors of a breakthrough made their way to the CRC right before the world went dark. Responders, you’re tasked with getting into the hospital, doing what you can to secure the location, and collecting research that could be pivotal to our survival.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Our first daytime objective map[/p]
• [p]Randomly changing floor layout[/p]
• [p]New “bio scanner” objective type[/p]

[p][/p][p]Developer Note: Powerplant Changes[/p][p]
[/p][p]Powerplant is by far our largest map, and we feel that it still has a lot of potential before reaching its final form. Our level design team has put a lot of work into the map with updates including:
[/p]

• [p]A couple of updates ago we made a major zombie spawn rework to every map except Powerplant. We’re excited to share that Powerplant’s new spawn rework is completed, and ships with 0.7.0. [/p]
• [p]We’ve replaced our 3 radios to find a body scenario with a new scenario featuring bio scanners, a new objective type debuting in Beaulieu Hospital.[/p]
• [p]Updated the “fix machines” end scenario, where you now have to fix one machine instead of three.[/p]
• [p]Fast rope added to extractions inside the powerplant, to make them a bit more tense.[/p]
• [p]Update to all extractions, raising the intensity and danger during your escape.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Developer Note: Match Reconnect[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Our match reconnect feature will detect when you lose connection due to a crash and/or network issues, and place your Responder into an “invisible” state, where you’ll be impervious to damage and undetectable to zombies.[/p][p][/p][p]Once detected and activated, players will have a limited amount of time (2 minutes at launch) to get back into the game before their character would be lost like normal.[/p][p][/p][p]Developer Note: Combat Changes[/p][p][/p][p]Community feedback is constantly helping us refine No More Room in Hell 2, and combat 2.0 still isn’t hitting the mark. Hospital comes with three changes intended to make combat feel more challenging and realistic.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Zombies are going to be tougher at every difficulty level and players are going to have to choose their fights tactically, as zombies are now ready to take an additional hit.[/p]
• [p]Moving forward swinging into a crowd of zombies will cost additional stamina for each zombie hit. We see this as a change that should make the gameplay experience feel more realistic and grounded (and more difficult).[/p]
• [p]Shoves and kicks are now slower when out of stamina and also deal less stability. We are testing combat changes to make stamina management a crucial part of the experience by limiting more player capabilities[/p]

[p][/p][p]Balance Changes[/p][p]In addition to the changes above, we made a few other balance changes with this update, alongside our suite of bugfixes, to keep making No More Room in Hell 2 as thrilling as can be.[/p]

• [p]Streamlined zombie spawning in the entire Power Plant map. Zombies should spawn more consistently and be more concentrated in the objective areas. Good luck![/p]
• [p]Shoving will hit just one zombie at a time, and kicks will hit up the three zombies[/p]
• [p]Zombies with helmets take fewer shots to remove the helmet[/p]
• [p]Adjusted hitboxes to make it easier to hit zombies which are knocked down[/p]
• [p]Ammo purchases in loadouts grants 20 bullets, up from 10[/p]

[p][/p][p]Bug Fixes[/p][p]Account & Progression[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the Diner in Broadway was awarding too much XP[/p]
• [p]Applied more fixes and safeguards to prevent rare instances where responders could be lost when launching the game[/p]

[p]Animation[/p]

• [p]Adjusted animations used by Shamblers when they navigate[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where Broadway objective items would disappear when held and shoving[/p]
• [p]Muzzle flash vfx should be more consistent on guns with different fire modes[/p]
• [p]Responders who turn should have more visible infection features[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where fire could pop into view when turning the camera[/p]
• [p]Prevented the flashlight from moving so much when throwing some weapons[/p]

[p]Audio[/p]

• [p]Added more prominent audio feedback when getting hit by zombies and environmental hazards like fire and gas[/p]
• [p]Audio from special encounters such as zombies emerging from coffins or body bags should play more reliably[/p]

• [p]Hip-firing with the Gruber MKVII now cancels sprint properly[/p]
• [p]Fixed self-sacrifice animation with the MP5 so that the gun does not clip[/p]
• [p]Fixed zombies not flinching when throwing the gene therapy at them. That’s some expensive hardware though, I wouldn’t be tossing that around if I were you…[/p]
• [p]Overall improvements to one-handed blunt weapon animations[/p]

[p]Environment[/p]

• [p]Updated the behaviour of various double doors across Power Plant[/p]

• [p]Fixed some spots where items could not be picked up on Power Plant[/p]
• [p]Fixed missing terrain around the edges of Broadway[/p]
• [p]Fixed a visual issue with the objective monitors in the Food Storage building Lewiston, where the code would appear as the default until very close to the screen. You’ll strain your eyes like that![/p]

[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello Responders,[/p][p]With 0.7.0 just around the corner, and with it the launch of our 5th map Beaulieu Hospital, we thought this would be a great time to take you behind the scenes and showcase how our team goes about creating the maps in No More Room in Hell 2.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]NMRiH2 is set during an active apocalypse, as players are placed at the center of civilization's downfall. Our Environmental Artists have the huge task of immersing you in that chaos. Along with Environmental Artists, our SFX & VFX Artists, Animators and Technical Teams help bring our different concepts to life.[/p][p]Our Level Designers are the architects of our different maps. They ensure that each map offers a challenging and fun experience while giving a strong foundation for our artists to create upon. Both teams work in sync, and a large amount of back and forth goes into making sure everything works together.[/p][p][/p][h3]Design Pillars - Our Teams North Star[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Design Pillars are generally found in every department, and at every level of a typical game production. These tenets act as guidelines that ensure a quality benchmark is hit and new content fits seamlessly into the game. [/p][p][/p][p]Our Map teams work with 3 core Pillars:[/p]

• [p]Grounded in Reality: Realism is the strongest tool that we have to create immersive and terrifying maps. Players need to feel like they’re moving through spaces that were recently lived in, and those spaces should feel true to the real world around them. [/p]
• [p]Iconic Locations: Our biggest inspiration comes from Romero films, and we strive to create our worlds in the same way he chose settings for his film. Iconic locations that feel both exciting and personal. [/p]
• [p]Replayability & Variety: Maps act as the playground on which gameplay happens, and it’s important that you get as much play as possible. Each of our maps needs to be fun and challenging after multiple playthroughs. [/p]

[p]“We take inspiration from NMRIH1 and Romero’s world, then ask ourselves: what iconic spaces would feel both real and terrifying when filled with the undead?”
- Shelllzey, Level Design Director[/p][p] [/p][h3]The Art of Environmental Storytelling [/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]The majority of No More Room in Hell 2’s story is told within the maps that players traverse. Our Environmental Artists go to great lengths to make sure that each map is packed with stories; players just need to look for them. [/p][p]Those stories only come after the level design foundation is set, and sometimes level design and narrative clash. Whether it be the flow of objectives not supporting the story or a cool bit of lore that breaks up a level's pace.[/p][p]“Our narrative and commitment to lore are part of what makes NMRIH2 special, but gameplay has to come first. You’ve got to be having fun.”
- Maxx, Creative Principal[/p][p][/p][h3]From a Concept Board to Players Hands[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Every map that we create starts as a lot of different ideas on our virtual whiteboard tool Miro. Members of our team look at the prospect of a new map at the highest level and try to create a proposal that nails our map pillars by answering a lot of questions:[/p]

• [p]Grounded in Reality: Does our proposal feel real, do we feel confident that we can make playing a round of this new map feel tactile and fully immersive?[/p]
• [p]Iconic Locations: Are we creating a new location that fits within the Romero ethos? Will players be captivated and excited by the fantasy?[/p]
• [p]Replayability & Variety: Are we creating something novel and replayable? What unique gameplay features are we bringing to make this map feel unique from the others in our Library?[/p]

[p]When our entire team feels confident with the concept it’s time for the virtual rubber to hit the road. Our team needs to work quickly to create a WIP (work in progress) version of the map that’s playtestable, then the feedback and refinement loop starts:[/p]

• [p]Weekly review meetings - These are internal “map team” meetings, where the team members who are working on the map play with directors and assess their current thoughts on the state of the map.[/p]
• [p]Internal and external playtests - These are playtests held with the entire Torn Banner studio and our CT Testers, feedback is compiled from both sources to get a bigger picture perspective.[/p]
• [p]Continuous feedback from multiple departments - That feedback is integrated into the loop, assessed, and integrated into the iteration work of a maps development.[/p]

[p]We stay in the loop until the map is fully polished, and we’re excited about the final product that we’ll offer to our players.[/p][p]“You can have a great idea on paper, but only when it’s in 3D and someone breaks it during a playtest do you really know what works.”
- Shelllzey, Level Design Director[/p][p][/p][h3]Creating maps for 1-8 Players[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]No More Room in Hell 2 supports up to 8 players, and that brings challenges. We push diverse playstyles and situations where you find yourself split up from your 7 teammates, and objectives and zombie spawn rates need to work whether you’re by yourself or with a giant group. [/p][p]This is one of the more difficult challenges that we’ve run into during Early Access, and while we still have a lot of opportunity for growth, we’ve solved a lot of our issues through objective design, gating, and pacing tricks, plus the occasional branching path or surprise.[/p][p]“Randomization is a core tenet from the original mod. It adds replayability and keeps players alert. Every new map tries something new with it.”
- Maxx, Creative Principal[/p][p][/p][h3]Player Data and Community Feedback[/h3][p][/p][p]Mike Tyson once said “Everyone has a plan before getting punched in the mouth” and the realities of game development make releasing a map to the public feel like a haymaker. It’s important that we roll with the punches, and fortunately enough every one brings insight that we can use to improve the game. Along with feedback from the Community and support tickets we have in game metrics that monitor heatmaps, deaths, extraction rates along with other stats.[/p][p]“The community helps shape every map, whether they know it or not. We adjust based on feedback every step of the way.”
- Shelllzey, Level Design Director[/p][p]“What always surprises me? The hacks players find to do something you didn’t intend. Even though that often means the game is being broken or exploited, it keeps us on our toes.”
- Shelllzey, Level Design Director[/p][p]One example: In Pottsville players found a way to get out of the Community Center early and get Downtown before the Community Center objectives were done, then they could complete Downtown objectives well in advance of the intended flow.  This is something we had to fix, but was interesting to see how players found paths we didn't intentionally make[/p][p]It’s less about massive reworks and more about constant tuning. Nearly every map is touched multiple times post-release.[/p][p]“Power Plant went through so many changes. We redesigned the gate section alone countless times. Now it flows much better, but it was a journey.”
- Maxx, Creative Principal[/p][p][/p][h3]How You Can Help[/h3][p]Just like with our game health and optimization work, your feedback directly influences the future of our maps.[/p][p]If you hit a wall (literally), find a stuck spot, or something just feels off, let us know. Here’s what helps:[/p]

• [p]What happened?[/p]
• [p]On what map, and where on the map?[/p]
• [p]Who were you with?[/p]
• [p]What were you doing just before the issue?[/p]
• [p]Screenshots or videos, if possible[/p]
• [p]Your rig specs and ping[/p]

[p][/p][p]Submit feedback via NMRIH2.com/support, post in our Discord, or use the in-game feedback tool.v [/p][p][/p][h3]Looking Ahead[/h3][p]As we march toward 1.0 in 2026, our goal is simple: maps that immerse, challenge, and surprise you, no matter how many times you’ve played them.[/p][p]We’re proud of how far our environments have come, and even more excited about where they’re going next.[/p][p]—The NMRIH2 Team[/p][p]
[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello Responders,[/p][p]We are just over a week away from our next update, Hospital, which will bring No More Room in Hell’s fifth map, along with a large number of gameplay changes to Powerplant, Match Reconnect, and more![/p][p][/p][h3]Beaulieu Hospital:
[/h3][p]Beaulieu is our fifth map, and first that takes place during the day. The map also features a layout with wards that randomly change location, making the map feel fresh and challenging match after match.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Nestled in the heart of Manhattan sits one of America’s oldest hospitals, Beaulieu. Beaulieu's proximity to millions, the hospital's size, and New York City's infrastructure made it an ideal candidate for research at the onset of the epidemic. 
[/p][p]Beaulieu is a large multistory hospital that features a courtyard at its center. Over time renovations of different sections of the hospital have created an old meets new aesthetic.The street facing exterior and lobby all look and feel brand new, while setting foot into the courtyard feels like you’re walking into the ‘50’s.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]Research at Beaulieu looked promising, and rumors of a breakthrough made their way to the CRC right before the world went dark. Responders, you’re tasked with getting into the hospital, doing what you can to secure the location, and collecting research that could be pivotal to our survival.[/p][p][/p][h3]Powerplant Changes:[/h3][h3]
[/h3][p]Powerplant is by far our largest map, and we feel that it still has a lot of potential before reaching its final form. Our level design team has put a lot of work into the map with updates including: [/p]

• [p]A couple of updates ago we made a major zombie spawn rework to every map except Powerplant. We’re excited to share that Powerplant’s new spawn rework is completed, and will ship with 0.7.0. [/p]
• [p]We’ve replaced our 3 radios to find a body scenario with a new scenario featuring bio scanners, a new objective type debuting in Beaulieu Hospital.[/p]
• [p]Updated the “fix machines” end scenario, where you now have to fix one machine instead of three.[/p]
• [p]Fast rope added to extractions inside the powerplant, to make them a bit more tense.[/p]
• [p]Update to all extractions, raising the intensity and danger during your escape.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Match Reconnect:[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Match reconnect is a feature that we were really hoping to ship this summer, but an unforeseen complication forced us to push it to October.
[/p][p]Our match reconnect feature will detect when you lose connection due to a crash and/or network issues, and place your Responder into an “invisible” state, where you’ll be impervious to damage and undetectable to zombies.
[/p][p]Once detected and activated, players will have a limited amount of time to get back into the game before their character is killed.
[/p][h3]Combat Changes:[/h3][p]Our Hospital update will also take a surgical pass on our combat system and bring a few updates intended to make the game feel more difficult and realistic. [/p][p][/p]

• [p]Zombies are going to be tougher at every difficulty level and players are going to have to choose their fights tactically, as zombies are now ready to take an additional hit.[/p]
• [p]Moving forward swinging into a crowd of zombies will cost additional stamina for each zombie hit. We see this as a change that should make the gameplay experience feel more realistic and grounded (and more difficult).[/p]
• [p]Shoves and kicks are now slower when out of stamina. and also deal less stability. We are testing combat changes to make stamina management a crucial part of the experience by limiting more player capabilities[/p]

[p][/p][p]The update will also feature a large number of bug fixes, a couple optimization passes, and more![/p][p]If you want to join the conversation, hop into our Discord, leave feedback in-game, or visit[/p][p]NMRIH2.com/support[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello Responders,[/p][p]Update 0.6.1 is a game health targeted update focused on quality-of-life and fixing some of the more elusive bugs that have been plaguing your sessions. From healing logic and fire damage to objective scripting and zombie AI, this update prioritizes smooth play and correct behavior across core systems.[/p][p]This update lays foundational work for what’s ahead, including new content arriving in October and a second Health Update landing in November. It’s all part of our continued reinforcement effort as we head toward 1.0 in 2026. Update 0.6.1 is another step forward in that direction, improving reliability, responsiveness, and the systems you rely on most.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Developer Note: Environment Optimization[/p][p][/p][p]Broadway and Lewiston received a major performance improvement. Using an automated process, we have made significant changes to the performance “cost” of game assets. In one example, we reduced a complex building from over 250 individual meshes to just 53, an 81% reduction. While this represents a single structure, similar improvements are being applied across all environmental assets for broader gains in performance and asset management. This helps streamline performance and asset management going forward. Expect smoother loads and fewer rendering hitches.[/p][p][/p][p]While this optimization is currently focused on two maps, we plan to apply this improvement across all maps in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]Developer Note: Animation Optimization[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve reworked how animations are evaluated under the hood, reducing how much they strain the CPU, especially during high-intensity moments with lots of movement and enemies. These changes improve framerate consistency across encounters, helping gameplay feel smoother when things get chaotic.[/p][p]This is part of an ongoing effort to optimize core systems without altering how they feel to play. Expect more invisible-but-impactful improvements like this in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]

[p]
Balance Changes[/p][p]Update 0.6.0 brought a major shift in difficulty. While it brought us closer to the challenge we want, it's not quite dialed in yet. We're continuing to apply tuning and feedback-driven balance adjustments across future updates. Expect more refinements as we close in on that sweet spot![/p]
