No More Room In Hell 2 developer Torn Banner Studios has announced a free weekend, giving you a chance to check out the game at no charge.
The sequel to the 2011 co-op zombie survival game was launched into Steam Early Access in 2024, and has seen mixed reviews so far.
However, Torn Banner has released a wide number of updates since then, slowly improving the game as it prepares for the 1.0 launch, which it expects will occur in the summer.
As mentioned in the official blog post, the free weekend runs from 30 April all the way to 4 May, giving you around five days to check the game out.

Torn Banner Studios makes sure to highlight the new content that’s been added since the previous free weekend, which includes four new difficulty options, a new tutorial, two new objective maps, character customization, overhauled combat, new zombie types, and “over 8000 bug fixes”.
In the same breath, Torn Banner has also confirmed console versions of No More Room In Hell 2 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, which will be coming as part of the game’s 1.0 launch in the summer.
Crossplay across all versions of the game will be available from launch. This also means that the PC version is getting full controller support as part of a future update, something the community has been requesting for a long time.
Torn Banner is also giving players the chance to preview a new map, Flooded, on the upcoming survival mode.
The new mode is described as an experience which is “more chaotic and fast-paced while still offering the core match and meta progression players have come to expect from No More Room in Hell 2”.
It works like any standard horde mode, where players arrive at the scene and have a few minutes to prepare defenses. When the wave starts, you’ll have to hold out for five minutes against the zombie onslaught and protect an objective.
Once the wave is successfully completed, additional surprise drops will arrive and you’ll move to the next objective to do the same. After three waves, you can extract from the mission.
The new Flooded map is set in an industrial complex “overcome by recent storms in rural Pennsylvania”, with “large multi-floor buildings, ransacked cargo containers, and abandoned machinery all offer unique ways to handle the undead and keep them distracted until the CRC’s nearby mission into a power plant is complete.”
If you end up enjoying the game from the free weekend, Torn Banner is also holding a sale where you can pick it up for 35% off, a decent savings ahead of the 1.0 launch planned for later this year.
As for when that will be, there hasn't been a release date set in stone yet. The first half of 2026 has always been the plan since the beginning though, so I imagine we might hear more from June onwards.
