No More Room In Hell 2 Announces Console Launch and Free Weekend
Torn Banner Studios opens the doors to a second Free Weekend for No More Room in Hell 2 - the 8-player co-op PvE horror where survival is the exception, not the rule - running April 30 through May 4 on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with the Early Access build discounted by 35% for the duration of the event. Alongside the Free Weekend, the studio has announced that it is partnering with Green Man Gaming to bring the game to consoles this Summer 2026, arriving in tandem with the 1.0 PC release.
The Free Weekend will offer players a look at the first map in the new Survival Mode. In this relentless new format, players must hold the line against swarming hordes to buy time for civilian rescues - where every tactical choice is the difference between life and permadeath. This joins the core Scenario Mode, where Responders venture deep into the outbreak to scavenge gear, tackle critical objectives, and extract vital supplies.
Since its last free weekend one year ago, the team has introduced more difficulty preferences to ease you into the apocalypse, including Casual Difficulty with Objective Completion Respawn, a dedicated Tutorial Gym for newly recruited Responders to practice shooting and melee combat, and Early Individual Extraction if the co-op squad falls below 50%.
Torn Banner has also introduced Character Customisation, meaning players can modify their Responder's appearance and features before exploring two all-new maps. Melee weapons have been reworked for damage, stability impact, speed, and reach, alongside an overall weapon tier upgrade. Most importantly, the threat has evolved: zombies no longer lock onto individuals, instead prioritising sound detection for a more demanding tactical experience.
No More Room in Hell 2 will make its console debut courtesy of Green Man Gaming, who will be publishing the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S inline with the 1.0 release, with cross-play available across all platforms.
“It’s been a year since No More Room In Hell 2’s first Free Weekend, and we’ve worked tirelessly to broaden the gates of the apocalypse without sacrificing the grit that defines the franchise,” says Steve Piggott, CEO & Creative Director at Torn Banner Studios. “Whether you’re a returning survivor or a fresh recruit, we can’t wait for fans to face the horde again, from the tactical intensity of our brand-new Survival Mode to all-new weapons, zombies, maps and beyond.”
“We are thrilled to announce the console debut of No More Room in Hell 2 this summer, allowing us to bring the uncompromising, eight-player cooperative horror to an even bigger audience,” says Chris Jones, EVP of Publishing at Green Man Gaming. “Few other survival horror games capture the same level of high-stakes cooperation, and we look forward to seeing how the console community handles the pressure of the apocalypse.”
