‘How To Survive’ Shambles Onto Arcade This Fall
Zombie games are everywhere, it seems, but the genre really hasn’t saturated the arcade market as deeply as it has retail. State of Decay, which may or may not release around June 5, is one promising title, and now we have another. It’s called How to Survive, and it takes place on an island that’s crawling with the living dead.
Thankfully, you’re given a handy survival guide to help you learn how to survive, scavenge for items, and craft a shelter, tools, and weapons. There will be a single-player campaign, an online multiplayer and a series of challenge modes. Check it out after the break.
How to Survive launches this fall on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC (through Steam).

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
