Ever wonder what would happen if Escape from Tarkov and Left 4 Dead had a baby in a haunted skyscraper? Well, wonder no more.

The Midnight Walkers just hit Steam Early Access (launched January 28/29, 2026), and it’s a vertical, claustrophobic nightmare in all the right ways. Developed by Oneway Ticket Studio, this PvPvE extraction shooter trades the typical open-world forests for the neon-and-grime-soaked floors of the Liberty Grand Center.

Here’s why it should be on your radar:

Vertical Extraction

Forget running for the hills. In this game, your survival depends on moving between floors of a massive complex. As the match progresses, toxic gas floods random levels, forcing survivors into tighter spaces. It’s a literal “climb or die” situation that makes the PvP encounters inevitable and incredibly sweaty.

The Classes

You aren’t just a nameless grunt. You choose from four distinct roles to help your squad (or yourself) survive:

• Brick (Assault): The heavy hitter with a sledgehammer.
• Crow (Assassin): Fast, nimble, and deadly with daggers.
• Lockdown (Sniper): For those who prefer the quiet lethality of a bow.
• Bartender (Support): Literally mixes cocktails to buff the team. (Yes, the most useful person in the apocalypse is the one making drinks.)

High Stakes, High Jank?

It’s currently in Early Access, so expect some “charitable” physics and the occasional glitchy zombie. However, the core loop is solid: loot a casino or a hospital, dodge a horde of “Runners,” outsmart a rival trio, and find an extraction pod before the gas gets you.

Just remember: if you don’t make it out, you lose everything. No pressure.

Quick Tip: Keep an eye on the fire extinguishers! They aren’t just props anymore—shooting them creates a smoke screen that can help you vanish when a fight goes sideways.
