Hello veteran Responders and new recruits alike!

Welcome to No More Room in Hell 2’s second free weekend, offering another glimpse into our intense 8 player zombie survival shooter. We’ve been in Early Access for a year and a half and throughout that time we’ve worked alongside our dedicated community to build an atmospheric and challenging cooperative experience unlike any other. This weekend, we invite everyone to become a Responder and survive hell together!If you’re someone who is new or returning to No More Room in Hell 2, here is what the game offers now during the free weekend:

• A roster of up to three customizable CRC Responders you chose prior to entering a match.

  • Think about the best starting perk fit for your selected mode and difficulty

  • If your Responder dies, they are permanently lost. If they live, they will gain XP and unlock more perk options for future runs.

• Two modes to select from:

  • Objective, offering 5 maps that each offer unique scenarios and visuals, asking players to complete a set of tasks to assist survivors and extract from the zone.

  • Survival, here as an exclusive preview for free weekend on one of the multiple maps coming at 1.0 launch! Defend against waves of undead using traps and barriers until it’s safe to extract.

• Four difficulties to select from:

  • Casual, offering an easy entry point with respawning after objectives and full UI

  • Classic, our standard experience with minimal UI and manageable threat levels

  • Hard, with more zombie variety and a scarcity of resources

  • Nightmare, a true test of skill and the endgame for fully-kitted Responders

• A robust extraction-survival experience across modes once deployed:

  • Meet up with other Responders using proximity voice chat, tackling objectives to progress and earn more XP.

  • Gear up with a diverse set of items found across the map, including 15 firearms, 19 melee weapons and several tools to choose from! Each offers its own use case and strengths to weigh carrying in your limited inventory.

  • Extract with Supplies to earn Credits that can be spent on perks and starting equipment.

    • If a match becomes too dire to finish, early extraction opens up to offer another way out.

    • Any tools you found during a run are given to other survivors, each run starts only with what’s in your Responder’s pockets

• Grow your Responder’s experience, spend Credits to build a personal arsenal, and tackle Nightmare to earn tokens that lead to Early Access rewards at launch!

Hello Responders!

It’s been a little over a year since No More Room in Hell 2’s last free weekend, and one of the most popular requests from our community has been to bring the game to more players in the wider gaming world.

We’re excited to share that we are officially headed to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series consoles as part of our 1.0 launch – slated for Summer 2026 – with Green Man Gaming as our publishing partner on those platforms! We can also confirm that native controller support will be added to PC for 1.0, as well as crossplay meaning wherever your friends play, you all can fight to survive together!

To commemorate all this news, we are hosting another free weekend starting tomorrow, April 30th through May 4th!

Since last free weekend, we’ve worked alongside players to improve and expand features including:

• 4 difficulty options, offering more ways to play

• Tutorial Gym, to allow for self-guided learning

• 2 new Objective maps: Broadway and Hospital

• Responder customization, making each character your own

• Overhauled melee and firearm combat

• Added more zombie types

• Shipped over 8000 bug fixes!

During the free weekend, players can try Survival Mode on one of the multiple maps coming at 1.0 for the first time! In this experience, speakers attract waves of zombies away from population centers and into the waiting arms of combat-focused Responders, narratively assisting the events of our Objective scenarios. These maps are 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. Here’s how the mode plays:

• Responders arrive at the scene with a few minutes to spare, enough to loot up and prepare defenses around the first set of speakers. A supply drop with added support from the CRC is available as well.

• Once the wave starts, players will have to hold out for five minutes against the onslaught to protect the speakers as they broadcast. Each area has special traps and defensive options that can be used when pressure gets too tough.’

• After a successful wave, the CRC will send an additional supply drop and players can move to the next objective with a few moments to breathe. After three waves, your distraction is a success and a helicopter comes to extract you. If you fail two waves, early extraction opens as a way to prevent disaster.

Set in an industrial complex overcome by recent storms in rural Pennsylvania, Flooded offers players their first glimpse into Survival. 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. The groundwater present throughout the whole map makes for a new challenge, as zombies are harder to confirm as slain and dry spots to comfortably share loot are rare.

We’re offering No More Room in Hell 2 for its lowest price ever as part of this celebration of this milestone, so anyone who tries the game out this weekend can more easily pick it up and continue to fight back against the horde alongside our community. Earn Early Access rewards, join the thousands of Responders in our Discord[discord.gg], and prepare for when all hell breaks loose at our 1.0 launch!

As always, stay safe out there!
