A day after giving players access to the Steam Workshop in Terminus, Longplay Studios has revealed the game’s sequel, Terminus: Zombie Survivors 2. Coming to Steam, Zombie Survivors 2 will once again place players in an open-world zombie survival situation, but this time demanding more of its players than the original game.
Playable either solo or with friends in online co-op, this time around, things just got tougher. Your food has to be scavenged and cooked, a fire has to be kept burning through rain, snow, and cold, and at night, a flashlight beam is sometimes all that stands between a survivor and what’s waiting in the dark. Survivors comb the shelves and cabinets of abandoned homes for anything worth taking, and craft and build with whatever the old world left behind.
Players roam a small town and the lonely roadside stops around it, overrun by the dead: motels, diners, gas stations, supermarkets, churches, and hospitals, each hiding supplies, dangers, and traces of the people who didn’t make it. Exploration plays a bigger role this time around, with a world that stretches from the town center out to the woods and highways beyond it.
The dead also up their ante, coming in every form. From a lone shambler in a hallway to crowds in the streets and far larger things that shouldn’t exist.
“For the sequel, we went deeper into survival itself: what it actually takes to stay fed, warm, and alive when the world is gone. Every system in the game is designed to make that struggle matter,” says Shin In-geon, lead developer at Longplay Studios.
