A new gameplay trailer for LONG GONE is out, and the indie zombie adventure is already trying to do something a little different. Uploaded to the official Hillfort Games YouTube channel in 2026, the trailer leans on chase sequences, stealth and a point-and-click-adventure style that skips combat altogether.
LONG GONE is scheduled to launch sometime in 2027 on PC via Steam, and Hillfort Games says more than 275 thousand players have already added it to their wishlists. That is the kind of early attention that turns a trailer into a statement of intent, especially for a game with a 2.5D pixelated art style, dynamic lighting and voxel-based environments.
The official website describes LONG GONE as an atmospheric 3D pixel narrative adventure set during a decade-long zombie apocalypse. Players will also travel with a feline companion that can warn of danger and help find treasure, while a unique cast of survivors is hidden throughout the world. The result is a world built less around firefights than around movement, tension and survival.
That approach helps explain why the game is being framed as one for fans of The Last of Us while they wait for news on that franchise. There has not been a shortage of zombie games lately, but many of them lean on combat and spectacle. LONG GONE is taking a different route, using stealth, exploration and atmosphere to carry the experience instead.
The friction is simple: the trailer sells urgency without offering direct combat, which leaves the game to prove that suspense alone can carry a full release. With a 2027 window still ahead, the next thing to watch is whether Hillfort Games can turn a strong wishlist count and a striking trailer into a zombie game that stands apart when it arrives on Steam.
