Press release:
Wales, UK — Feb. 6, 2026 — HumanitZ, the isometric open-world zombie survival sandbox from developer Yodubzz Studios and publishing partner indie.io, exits Steam Early Access into a 1.0 apocalypse on PC via Steam today with a shambling hoard of new content.

Civilization shattered in the wake of a zombie outbreak, leaving humanity an endangered species in a world now ruled by ‘zeeks.’ The stench of rotting flesh pervades in abandoned towns where blood stains the streets. Survivors fight against hunger, exposure, infection, and the relentless undead in an unforgiving landscape growing more hostile by the day.

Face the end of the world alone or alongside other survivors. Scavenge the ruins of Anywhere, USA, or escape to the wilderness to farm, hunt, and fish in single-player or online co-op, with both PvE and PvP experiences supported across dedicated and player-hosted servers. Craft weapons, life-saving consumables, and fortified shelters to hide from the infected, who have grown more ferocious, twice as deadly, and even more starved for human flesh.

Since Early Access, Yodubzz has redesigned and remastered the open world, now denser, darker, and more dangerous than ever. Dynamic weather, drivable vehicles, and unpredictable hazards ensure that no two survival stories unfold the same way. The undead’s numbers grow by the minute while the world itself becomes more feral and less forgiving.

The 1.0 launch delivers sweeping overhauls shaped by community feedback, reinforcing HumanitZ’s identity as a deeply customizable survival sandbox. Revamped skill trees and professions enable deeper customization and risky multiclassing, while the new infection system spreads in real time, forcing swift decisions or a grim transformation into a monster. Zombie variants are more aggressive and unpredictable, demanding constant adaptation, especially in the high-stakes Permadeath Mode, while extensive world and survival settings let players define just how harsh or forgiving the apocalypse becomes.

For survivors willing to push further, The Island awaits. Cut off from the mainland and shrouded in mystery, this newly accessible region crawls with new horrors and long-buried truths, offering a brutal challenge for those ready to test their limits.

“Reaching 1.0 marks a major milestone for HumanitZ,” said Yozza, Lead Game Designer. “We’re looking forward to seeing players experience the redesigned world, deeper systems, and expanded content that are the result of years of collaboration with our community. This launch represents the next step for the game as we continue to build on HumanitZ alongside our community.”

HumanitZ 1.0 launches on PC via Steam today, for $19.99 USD, with a 40% launch discount. It will include language support for English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Italian.
