Longplay Studios

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Longplay Studios entered 2026 with one published title and two announced projects. The studio's debut, Terminus: Zombie Survivors, has sold over 150,000 copies on Steam. Its success anchors the catalog.

The first new project surfaced in July 2026: FD's Industry Tycoon, a pixel-art management simulation set on a 1990s-style desktop. Players build factories, run a six-stage production chain of over 250 products, and compete with more than 100 AI rivals. The game supports Japanese and targets a 2027 release.

In September 2026, the studio opened the Steam page for Terminus: Zombie Survivors 2. The sequel abandons the pixel art of the original for realistic 3D graphics and a seamless open world. Players still aim to survive a zombie-overrun world and reach the safe zone Terminus at the end of the railway. Survival mechanics now include cooking, farming, fishing, crafting, and managing fires against weather. Online co-op supports up to six players. The release date and price are undecided, and wishlists are open.

The shift to 3D open world and Japanese support for both titles signals an attempt to reach beyond the original's Steam audience. Longplay Studios is an indie studio based in Daejeon, founded in 2021, and its debut work won the Indie Game Award at the 2024 Korea Game Awards.
