Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Brigada Games announced a release date for Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, their zombie outbreak quarantine checkpoint simulator.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is set to launch for Windows PC (via Steam) next month, on January 12th, 2026.

The companies announced since its reveal earlier this year, the game has been wishlisted over 1.3 million time and saw nearly 2 million players try out its demo.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a gameplay trailer:

In Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, you must take on the role of a government agent stationed at a critical checkpoint in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Your job? Screen survivors, manage scarce resources and make impossible moral decisions that determine who gets in — and who doesn’t.

Between juggling food, fuel and defense systems, you’ll also face the human side of survival: trust, desperation and the haunting consequences of every call you make.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check‘s launch release will boast a whole host of infectious new features not present in the demo, including:

• The new portable X-ray, which scans a person’s internal organs for signs of infection… or checks whether a survivor is hiding contraband where the sun don’t shine
• A new metiascope helps inspect people’s eyes for signs of the virus (or you can test for healthy reflexes with the new medical reflex hammer)
• Use the laboratory to examine survivors with unknown symptoms and discover dangerous new signs of the virus
• A feeding cage for zombies to dispose of corpses. This isn’t just for the fun of it: the government will pay handsomely for them
• A new base management interface offers a bird’s eye perspective for overseeing and managing all resources from a single interface (no more carts)
• Relentless zombies will fall into your base from the rooftops; be ready to shoot them down
• Many other improvements are also implemented to refine the challenge of base defense and overall gameplay
