Torn Banner Studios, the hit developer behind the critically acclaimed and chart-topping Chivalry 2, announced today that the new REANIMATION update for the eight-player, co-op horror shooter No More Room in Hell 2, is now available. The REANIMATION update is the largest and most in depth since Early Access launch and introduces two new maps, a new radial inventory and a redesigned combat system. The update also introduces a character roster, major bug fixes and a surprise second map. No More Room in Hell 2 will also be available for free on Steam and Epic Games Store for the entire weekend of April 17-21. The game will also be 20% off on Steam from April 17-21.
The REANIMATION update will feature not one, but two new maps – No More Room in Hell 2 launched with just the original Power Plant map. The first new map is Pottsville, a dark, suburban town filled with tense, close-quarters encounters with the undead at dawn. Inspired by iconic zombie movie settings, Pottsville offers a stark contrast to the expansive, rural Power Plant map, featuring a compact and densely packed environment where players must navigate foggy alleyways, explore neighborhood homes and venture through downtown buildings. As the first new map since the game’s Early Access launch in October, its urban, somber atmosphere adds to the already unsettling threats. Players will also get a second full new map experience with Lewiston, a gritty, golden-hour cityscape where responders race to protect survivors and escape before the sun sets. In Lewiston, players will choose between two evacuation routes, train or boat and have to scavenge for supplies and balance survival with swift extraction. Originally underway by the Lever Games team before joining Torn Banner, Lewiston replaces Waldoboro to better reflect its real-world Maine setting, creating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment for players to explore.
Beyond gameplay enhancements, a new character roster will also be introduced and allows players to manage multiple permadeath characters at once. The character tab will now feature three slots, allowing players to strategically choose which survivor to take into battle. Whether opting to keep a level 50 veteran safe at base while sending a lower-level responder into the fray, the choice is now in the player’s hands. Torn Banner Studios is committed to refining and expanding this system in future updates.
The new weight-based radial inventory system draws inspiration from the original game, allowing players to quickly select items by moving their mouse to different quadrants of the screen. Unlike the previous inventory, which was limited by the number of slots regardless of item weight, this new system adds a layer of strategy by making players consider the weight of their gear. This change creates a faster-paced inventory experience while also requiring more thoughtful decisions about what to carry, share with teammates or leave behind.
REANIMATION will also roll out a major overhaul to the combat system. This revamped Combat 2.0 system is designed to make player interactions with zombies more dynamic and immersive. With improved mechanics for both ranged and melee combat, players will have more options and greater satisfaction in how they dispatch the undead hordes. A powerful new kick ability has also been added, now holding shove will knock down zombies at the cost of stamina, creating space in critical moments. Combat 2.0 promises smoother, more intuitive controls that will help elevate the tension and excitement of every encounter.
Players can also expect new melee weapons and the arrival of riot police and construction worker zombies with added armor and resistance. The update also introduces a revamped zombie spawning system for better density and pacing, as well as improved loot distribution and performance boosts. The Torn Banner team is dedicated to making this game the best it can be for its loyal community and since launch has added hundreds of bug fixes across the board to make the playing experience that much better.
