MAGES. announced a Steam version of ZOMBIE Disaster Prevention Training on July 27, 2026, opening a store page for the point-and-click adventure game. The game originally launched on Nintendo Switch on November 20, 2025. It teaches players how to survive a zombie apocalypse using everyday items such as brooms, trash cans, and wheelchairs instead of weapons.
Players participate in a training program at a disaster prevention center, clicking on locations and tools to choose escape or self-protection methods across 33 stages set in schools, hospitals, and shopping malls. The game emphasizes five principles: hide quietly, avoid fighting if possible, engage from a distance, observe carefully, and immobilize movement. Each item has multiple uses, encouraging repeated play to discover different coping strategies.
The Steam version's release date remains undecided. The Switch version is currently on sale until August 18 at 30% off, priced at 770 yen (tax included).

Longplay Studios opened the Steam store page for Terminus: Zombie Survivors 2 on September 2, 2026, and began accepting wishlist registrations. The release date and price remain undecided. The game is the sequel to Terminus: Zombie Survivors, which has sold over 150,000 cumulative copies on Steam. The sequel shifts from the predecessor's pixel art style to realistic 3D graphics and expands into a seamless open world. Players aim to survive a zombie-overrun world and reach the safe zone Terminus at the end of the railway. Exploration connects towns, forests, and highways, with facilities such as motels, diners, gas stations, supermarkets, churches, and hospitals offering supplies. Survival mechanics include cooking, farming, fishing, crafting tools, and managing fires against rain, snow, and cold. Weather effects like fog and wet roads affect visibility and require situational judgment. Zombie variety ranges from indoor lurkers to street-filling hordes and giant specimens. Online co-op supports up to six players. The developer is an indie studio based in Daejeon, South Korea, founded in 2021, whose debut work won the Indie Game Award at the 2024 Korea Game Awards.
