Last month, gamers received exhilarating news with the announcement of an official remaster for Days Gone. Over time, this game has garnered a cult following, prompting many fans to dream of a sequel. While a remaster may not elicit the same excitement as a full-fledged sequel, it could pave the way for future developments. Notably, Days Gone is not alone in the spotlight; numerous anticipated zombie games are set to debut in 2025, promising to invigorate the gaming landscape.
The connection between zombies and gaming is well-established, dating back decades. While the genre may seem saturated, zombie-themed games continue to present captivating narratives and unique gameplay experiences. Should the various upcoming projects emerge this year, fans can look forward to a thrilling time in the realm of zombie gaming.
A Potential Zombie Renaissance Looms in 2025
Two Exciting Sony Exclusives to Launch This Year
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be available on PC starting April 3, 2025.
- Days Gone Remastered will release on April 25, 2025.
These two major titles are set to kick off the year on a high note for zombie enthusiasts. While remasters may not generate the same buzz as brand-new titles, they serve as enticing teasers for what else lies ahead this year. The close release dates of Days Gone Remastered and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered may create healthy competition, but a dual offering of exhilarating zombie narratives is bound to delight fans.
Anticipated Titles Without Release Dates: Dying Light: The Beast and Toxic Commando
The excitement surrounding the announcement of Dying Light: The Beast has been palpable, especially as it heralds the return of fan-favorite Kyle Crane. Although developer Techland hasn’t confirmed a release date, there’s speculation that it could launch in summer 2025. In contrast, details surrounding John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando have been scarce. The trailer hints at a thrilling, action-packed experience, but following its missed initial release date, a release this year seems plausible.
With the original Dying Light celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, this year would certainly be fitting for the debut of Dying Light: The Beast.
State of Decay 3: A Long-Awaited Addition to a Beloved Series
The gaming community has expressed considerable anticipation for State of Decay 3, following its predecessor’s release back in 2018. First revealed at the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of an official launch date. With expectations running high, a firm release announcement would be met with enthusiasm.
While past rumors suggested a potential delay to 2026, such claims remain unverified.
Speculation Surrounds a Potential Sequel: Back 4 Blood 2
- Rumors suggest that Back 4 Blood 2 is currently in development.
Although unconfirmed, evidence hints that a sequel to Back 4 Blood is on the horizon. While it’s unlikely that this title will launch in 2025, an announcement at an upcoming gaming event seems more plausible.
The Zombie Genre’s Ongoing Popularity
The allure of zombies in gaming shows no signs of waning. Upcoming titles such as Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, Showa American Story, and Killing Floor 3 are also on their way. No matter how many zombie-themed games are released, innovative twists continue to breathe new life into the genre.
