Press release:
Los Angeles, CA – April 3, 2026 – A chaotic new co-op experience is on the way as Dead Party makes its debut, bringing together alien invasions, zombie hordes, and music-powered combat in a fast-paced party action game.

Set on Halloween night in the sleepy town of Shady Hill, things spiral out of control fast as UFOs swarm the skies and the dead claw their way out of the ground. Up to four players must team up, scramble for whatever they can find, and hold the line against relentless waves of enemies, unleashing electrifying musical abilities, improvised weapons, and pure chaotic energy to survive the night.

Blending cooperative gameplay with base defense mechanics, Dead Party features both a story-driven campaign and a highly replayable Arcade Mode. Players can jump into a variety of objective-based challenges, from powering up signal towers and launching skull-fueled cannons at UFOs to surviving endless hordes of increasingly dangerous enemies. Each of the four playable characters brings their own unique abilities and equipment, encouraging teams to experiment with different strategies and playstyles. Along the way, players will unlock creative traps, powerful weapons, and new ways to hold off the ever-growing zombie threat.

With its mix of humor, high-energy gameplay, and social-first design, Dead Party aims to deliver a co-op experience built for chaotic fun and memorable moments with friends.
