In the vast landscape of gaming, zombie-themed games have carved out a niche for themselves, captivating players with the thrill of survival in a post-apocalyptic world teeming with the undead.

Welcome to ParadiZe Releases Next Month

Scheduled for release on February 29th, Welcome to ParadiZe is poised to hit both Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms. Eko Software’s spin on the ever-popular zombie genre takes place in the beautiful yet perilous country of ParadiZe. Here, ingenious survivors are experimenting with a cutting-edge technology designed to control the hordes of zombies that have overrun the world. Once successfully hacked, these zombies transform into invaluable allies, albeit not the sharpest tools in the shed and occasionally rather unpredictable. The game introduces a unique twist to the traditional zombie narrative, promising players an immersive and challenging experience.

The storyline of the upcoming zombie survival game unfolds in a world where survival is not guaranteed, but wit and skill may tip the scales in the player’s favor. The developers describe ParadiZe as a place where cleverness and resourcefulness could be the key to enduring the challenges that lurk around every corner.

While only time will reveal if Welcome to ParadiZe will successfully captivate zombie survival game enthusiasts, it’s not the sole offering in this survival genre to anticipate this year. Unveiled in June 2023, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is also slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2024. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, Toxic Commando promises to be a co-op first-person shooter featuring a class system and a quirky sense of humor.

Yet another survival horror video game to look forward to this year is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Although originally intended for a late 2022 release, the game’s development faced delays due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, prompting the Kyiv-based studio GSC Game World to relocate its operations to Prague in the Czech Republic.
