14 Best NEW Upcoming Zombie Games of 2025

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!

#14 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.

#13 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?

#12 Blight Survival

Zombie games typically take place in the modern day. You have various melee weapons and guns to take them out while scavenging for supplies. However, Blight Survival is changing things by giving players a medieval twist. Set in the 14th century, players are going through a medieval-style survival horror game.

In this game, a new blight has swept in, allowing the dead to rise up and fight. A new war is approaching, leaving players fighting against the odds. Using armor and swords, you’ll have to venture through the lands taking out the undead. Fortunately, you’ll get some aid as this title will offer 4-player cooperative gameplay support when it does arrive in the marketplace.

#11 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.

#10 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.

#9 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.

#8 Nakwon: Last Paradise

You’ll see a couple of games set in Korea on this list, but this first one is set in modern times to give you a slight edge while also giving you plenty of places to die.

Nakwon: Last Paradise will put you in Seoul, Korea, during the zombie apocalypse. Guns aren’t easy to come by, so you’ll need to work your way around the city and use what you can when you can so you can survive and make it to the next location.

The game is PvPvE, which means the zombies aren’t your only threat. You’ll need to trust sparingly and think wisely if you wish to make it.

#7 Projekt Z

During World War II, the Germans were dabbling in various projects to attempt to change the tide of the war. In Projekt Z, you’ll see one of the more supernatural versions of those goals. You’ll head to an island where German forces were attempting to not only create zombies but be able to control them.

You’ll take on missions that will start story arcs and battle the zombies and other threats the island offers. Craft weapons and materials at your base, so you’re never caught off guard.

Or you can head to the survival mode and see how long you last against the zombie threat! The choice is yours.

#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 State of Decay 3

We got the reveal trailer for the game years ago, literally. So now, with no new updates, all gamers can do is try and guess what’s going to happen in it.

It does appear that there will be a co-op/multiplayer option based on some wording on their site. Also, you can bet there will be a lot of hard choices you’ll need to make in order to survive the world.

All we can do is wait for news to come and hope it’s of the good variety.

#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.
