Press release:
Zagreb, Croatia – June 8, 2026 | Croatian-based Ajvar Studio has announced their upcoming topdown PvE survival shooter Sunset Survival: Miami for PC (via Steam) during the Games from Croatia Steam festival.
Gear up, get out, and survive the neon-soaked apocalypse. Sunset Survival: Miami is a top-down PvE extraction shooter. Raid a mutant-infested Miami for vital supplies, blast your way through enemy hordes, upgrade your base, and unlock powerful skills.
The city is completely warped, and every single alley is a death trap. But that’s exactly where the best loot is hiding. Pack some serious firepower, grab everything that isn’t bolted down, and blast through anything in your way.
“We wanted to blend our love of Scarface, Vice City and Miami Vice with classic zombie horror, and that is how we got the idea for Sunset Survival: Miami,” shared Ajvar Studio founder Zoran Domuzin. “The main idea was to take a beautiful sun-drenched summer paradise and make it a playground for the undead. We wanted to step back from dark and gritty tropes of the genre and just have fun with it. So, we made our main protagonist a walking Florida Man headline and decided to explore the apocalypse through his perspective. We are so thrilled to finally share our vision with the players.
Sunset Survival: Miami will be launching on PC (via Steam). News about its development and release will be shared at a later date. For more information, consider following along on Bluesky @ajvar.bsky.social, TikTok @ajvar.studio and Instagram @ajvarz.
About Sunset Survival: Miami
Welcome to Miami. Enjoy the sun, the palms, and the flesh-eating mutants. The city is completely warped, and every single alley is a death trap. But that’s exactly where the best loot is hiding. Pack some serious firepower, grab everything that isn’t bolted down, and blast through anything in your way.
Sun, Palms & Mutants
There are still remains of the city that once was, but now with new layer of destruction. Luxury hotels are now infected nests, the beaches are mutant sand pits… and some zones have mutated so badly.
Fight, Scavenge, Repeat
There’s no shame in running. Your only goal is to make it out alive, whatever it takes. Tear through narrow back alleys, rip open abandoned ambulances, and check the toilets, you might find a high-tier rifle, or you might just find a warm can of old beer. Either way, you’re gonna need it. Random loot, varied enemies, and unpredictable weather mean no two runs go the same way.
Go Inside (If You Dare)
Don’t just stick to the streets. Break into hotels, bars, and neon-lit nightclubs. The deeper you go, the bigger the danger gets, but that’s where the best loot is waiting. Keep an eye out for intel on the area so you know exactly what kind of hell you’re walking into.
The Nightlife
Miami is dangerous by day, but a total nightmare after dark. If you aren’t heavily geared, do not stay out past sunset. When the lights go out, the worst monsters crawl out of the shadows, the city goes pitch black, and you’re left relying entirely on a flashlight battery that will run out. But the dark is also when the rarest loot can be found. Do you risk it all, or play it safe?
Escape or Die
You don’t win until you get out. Fight your way back to your boat, defend a chopper helipad, or strap yourself to a lawn chair rigged with propane tanks. It doesn’t matter how you leave, just don’t die, because if you do, everything you found stays in the dirt.
Home Sweet Home
The only place you can feel truly safe, your island paradise. Bring back resources to upgrade your base, build new structures, and repair old ones. Improving your home base will attract more survivors, unlock new skills, and let you permanently upgrade your stats. Once you are ready, sleep until morning and head back toward Miami.
