A new trailer for a game that looks like a mix of Call of Duty and The Last of Us has just dropped on YouTube.
The Midnight Walkers is a first-person shooter that blends the deadly zombie-like enemies of The Last of Us with the tactical shooter gameplay of Call of Duty.
It’s set in a modern mega-complex that’s been overrun by zombies, where you must scavenge, loot, and craft weapons to help yourself survive.
The game is intended as a co-operative and competitive experience, but you can also play it alone if you don’t have any friends to jump on with. Taking a page out of Elden Ring: Nightreign’s book, the game is playable in solo and trios mode, but not duos. It's interesting that the game also doesn't offer quads as an option for your squad, considering four playable characters have been revealed in the lineup.

The new trailer shows off a little of the game’s cinematics, as well as a few snippets of gameplay at the end.
In terms of what it actually shows, we see some dude training in what looks like some underground bunker where he’s been holed up. I can only assume this guy’s name is John Ghoulslayer or something like that.
“Liberty Grand Center mega-complex is overrun by dangerous zombies, mutated variants, deadly bosses, and desperate survivors using any means necessary to scavenge for the same loot as you,” the official game description reads for The Midnight Walkers.
“Utilise elevators to explore shopping mall, hospital, and casino floors, and plan escape route from dangers, including the countdown-triggered poison gas system.”
The Midnight Walkers is expected to release later this year on Steam. At the moment, there’s no concrete release date but developer Oneway Ticket Studio has cited Q4 2025 as the rough window for launch right now.
If you want to get your hands on it sooner, the developer is running a closed beta playtest which you can sign up for.

A console launch is expected to follow in 2026.
