Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Gets March 2027 Release, Console Versions

PikPok announced that the side-scrolling zombie survival game Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days will leave early access and launch in full in March 2027. The game, set in Walton, Texas in 1980, has been available on Steam since April 2025 and has received 13 major updates during early access. Players control survivors in a city hit by a zombie pandemic, gathering supplies, crafting weapons, reinforcing shelters, and deciding whether to fight or flee from hostile humans. Managing hunger, fatigue, and mental state is also part of the survival loop. The Steam version has gathered roughly 9,000 reviews, with 90% positive. Alongside the PC full release, the game will also arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. For Japan, Spike Chunsoft will handle sales of the PS5 and Switch 2 versions, with the price and official release date to be announced later. A teaser trailer featuring gameplay footage accompanied the announcement.

  • Spike Chunsoft announced the Japanese release on August 19, 2026, and will sell the PS5 and Switch 2 versions in Japan. The price is undecided.
  • The PC version will also launch on the Epic Games Store in March 2027, alongside the Steam full release.
  • The early access period delivered 13 major updates adding new zombies, survivors, escape routes, weapons, and playability improvements.
  • Players can recruit survivors found in the city, but must choose who to take and who to abandon. More companions mean more manpower, but limited supplies must be shared.
  • Staying in one shelter gradually intensifies zombie attacks, so the game pushes players to find a new shelter and keep moving before barricades are breached.
  • The teaser trailer carries a copyright line crediting Prodigy Design Limited, with Into the Dead, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, and PikPok listed as trademarks of Prodigy Design Limited.
  • The Steam early access version is currently priced at 2,800 yen.
