Publisher tinyBuild announced Last Harbor, an open-world online multiplayer survival game, during the Summer Game Fest 2026 stream on June 6, 2026. The game is set in the San Juan Islands in Washington State, where zombies have overrun the land and survivors have fled to the sea. Players operate a ship that functions as both a base and a means of transportation, upgrading it and honing crafting skills while protecting survivors. Life at sea has limits, forcing players to go ashore on small islands via a small boat to secure resources, supplies, and food. On land, zombies roam, and making loud noises attracts hordes. Other players may also attack to steal gathered supplies. The game includes cooperative play and PvP elements. Safe zones exist where security forces maintain order, allowing players to interact and secure their ship. The trailer showed scenes of fishing, cooking, hunting on small islands, and gathering supplies while evading zombies. Last Harbor is in development for PC via Steam. A release date has not been announced.
