The zombie apocalypse is getting a serious upgrade, and your squad is on the clock.

Mark your calendars for July 24, 2026. Indie publisher indie.io and developer Raptor Byte have officially announced that Codename CURE II, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit free-to-play cooperative first-person shooter, is officially launching on Steam.

If you thought surviving the undead was tough before, it’s time to gear up, lock in, and see if you actually have what it takes to cleanse the wasteland.

Five Players. One Mission: Survive.

Codename CURE II throws players right into the brutal aftermath of a zombie outbreak. Unlike traditional four-player co-op shooters, this tactical nightmare ups the ante by dropping five-player squads into highly infected hot zones.

Whether you’re planting explosives to purge a nest or holding the line for a desperate extraction, success relies on one thing: absolute synergy. Going rogue isn’t just a bad idea—it’s a death sentence for your entire team.

Day-One Drop: The Combat Specialist Pack

Raptor Byte isn’t sending you into the horde empty-handed. Launching right alongside the free-to-play base game is the Combat Specialist Pack. While details on the exact contents are being kept under wraps, players can expect a premium haul of gear to help customise their loadouts and stand out (or blend into the shadows) while painted in zombie blood.
