God Save Birmingham is a zombie survival game set in 14th-century Birmingham, developed by Ocean Drive Studio. It replaces firearms with physics-based improvisation and layers in life simulation mechanics, a combination the studio has been showing off through footage and playable builds.
On August 21, Ocean Drive released the first co-op gameplay footage, a 54-second clip that shows players dividing tasks, fighting zombies together, and using object manipulation to barricade doors and roll barrels. The game is scheduled for Steam Early Access on PC, with co-op available from the start of that period.
A week later, at gamescom 2026, the studio presented a playable demo that emphasized physics-based combat, life simulation, and co-op play. An early access release is planned soon. Japanese language support has not yet been confirmed.
