Avoid those gnashing teeth! This list will focus on the best upcoming zombie games of 2025. Fingers are crossed that we’ll see each one launch before the year wraps up!
#12 Days Gone Remastered
There are so many zombie titles out there in the world that it takes a lot to separate one from the other. The upcoming Days Gone Remastered title will attempt to make people care about the game by Bend Studio and give you an updated look at this version of a zombie-filled world.
What’s important about this world’s version of zombies, known as Freakers, is that they don’t just come up to you and attack. Instead, they are rather crafty beings that will attack you in various ways and even adapt to what’s happening around them.
Thus, you’ll need to be prepared for anything and hope what you have on you is enough to deal with them.
#11 The Midnight Walkers
Welcome to the Liberty Grand Center. Here, the danger is both near and far, and it’s not solely zombie-related. The twist with The Midnight Walkers is that you’ll be put into this place and then randomly sent to various floors where you’ll have to do battle against zombies and other threats. Your goal is to get through eight floors with each run so you can get loot. With that loot, you can trade for better items and see if you can do even better the second time around.
Just be warned, floors will fill up with gas, and the others playing the game with you could be a threat or hindrance if you’re not careful.
#10 Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days
The next entry in the series, Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days, seeks to expand everything that went down in the first two games so that players can be happy and new innovations can be had. For example, those who played the first game remember there was no story mode. However, one was added to the sequel. With the third game, it appears that several characters will be the focus as you attempt to survive the zombies that come for you.
Players can also expect another large array of weapons to use to take out the undead and ensure they don’t join their ranks. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
#9 Killing Floor 3
Look, we’ve shown you plenty of zombie games that have deep stories and the like within them, but there are many gamers out there who simply want to fight zombies and take them out brutally. For those who want that “simplified” style of play, get Killing Floor 3.
The “story” is that a corporation has created undead monsters known as Zeds and has partially taken over the world. However, there is a resistance fighting back. You’re part of that resistance and will team up with other players to take out the hordes of Zeds coming after you. Blast them to pieces and then move on to the next one until one side is done.
#8 The House of the Dead 2: Remake
How about now we go back in time to a much simpler age of killing zombies. We’re talking about the arcade video games that helped make people better zombie killers. One of the best of them was The House of the Dead series, which was a on-rails shooter that had you killing zombies left and right and up and down.
Now, there’s going to be a The House of the Dead 2: Remake, which promises to not just go and improve the graphics, but enhance the overall experience. So if you played the original on arcade, this game is definitely one to pay attention to.
#7 Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle
One of the “cardinal sins” of a zombie-style movie is going alone into a place that surely has monsters but thinking you can make it out alive. Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a prequel to a certain hit title and features you as a special agent heading into a special research center. But what’s so “special” about it? Oh, you’ll find out soon enough.
Thankfully, your group in Hades has equipped you with special weapons to take on any threat, which is good because you’ll NEED them to fight off the terrors while you attempt to learn the truth of what happened in this facility.
Do you think you can survive what’s coming? In 2025 you’ll be able to try your best on the Nintendo Switch platform.
#6 ILL
Let it be known that not all horror games are driven by violence. Some of them can have a deep story while you kill everything in sight. ILL puts you as someone sent to investigate the mysterious “happenings” of a small town. Specifically, the people have gone mad and turned into monsters.
As you navigate the town to learn the truth, you’ll face numerous horrors, all of which adapt to what you do and thus won’t be put down easily. You’ll sometimes need to break them apart piece by piece to put them down.
Use your weapons wisely and get the job done, or else you’re the one who “won’t feel well” by the end.
#5 Plants vs. Zombies 3
It’s honestly a bit hilarious to us that this franchise has sprouted up the way it did. Yes, we made that pun, you’re welcome. Plants vs. Zombies 3 is the third main entry in the long-standing tower defense franchise, and with it already out on mobile devices, with a console port presumably coming in 2025, you’ll have a lot to do to defend your neighborhood.
The game promises dozens of levels to challenge yourself on, and that means being able to use your plants to the fullest if you’re going to survive! Do you have what it takes to make the zombie scourge end? Play and find out!
#4 God Save Birmingham
Typically, zombie games are set in modern times or the near future so that players can use modern or futuristic weaponry to take on the unending waves of zombies and then move them down. However, in God Save Birmingham, you’ll be thrown into the past, and forced to survive in the 14th century. That means you won’t have guns or other high-powered armaments, so you’ll have to use whatever is around you.
To that end, you’ll have to take care to mind the town you’re in and get the supplies you need to last from day to day. The horde is always on the move, so you’ll need to keep an eye out so you don’t get caught off guard.
#3 The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (PC)
Naughty Dog is known for making incredible narrative titles, and so when it made the sequel to what might be the greatest video game ever, and then that game got remastered, you know it’s something special. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered gives players, both new and old, a chance to see Naughty Dog’s legendary story franchise in full effect.
The game takes place a few years after the previous entry, and things are not well between Ellie and Joel. However, when outside forces threaten everything they’ve built up, dark choices must be made, and how far one of them will go may just change everything forever.
#2 Dying Light: The Beast
Are you ready to unleash the monster that has been grown inside you? For Kyle Crane, that answer is more complex than you’d imagine. After saving numerous people in the first game, Kyle was captured and experimented on for a decade. Now, he’s broken free, and his goal is to ruin the people who made him what he now is.
However, as he enters the Castor Woods, he soon finds survivors of the apocalypse who could use his help. With primal power and new abilities, Kyle can tear through enemies and make things a living nightmare for his foes. Just make sure he doesn’t die before getting his revenge!
#1 Hunger
Welcome to an alternate version of history that is even grimmer than you might think. Seriously, the Black Plague has nothing on what happens in Hunger. The game puts you in Europe, where an even worse plague has descended upon the land and its people. When that happened, monsters grew from death, and the casualties rose even more than before.
You are one of the “lucky few” who was able to survive the initial plague but must now find a way to survive in this world. Use various weapons to fight enemies and then search nearby lands to find the means to keep pushing forward. Life isn’t easy, but death is far worse.
