If you’ve ever wanted to cure the zombie apocalypse instead of just surviving it, Zombie Cure Lab might be your next obsession. Publisher Aerosoft and developer Thera Bytes are officially launching the full version of the base-building management sim on May 27, 2025, across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, both digitally and at retail. The game will be available for $29.99 USD.
Not Just Another Zombie Game
Unlike most post-apocalyptic games that revolve around mowing down the undead, Zombie Cure Lab flips the script. You’re not here to eliminate the zombie threat—you’re here to cure it.
Set in a world where zombies have overtaken the planet, the game casts you as the lead scientist at a remote lab. After years of research, humanity has discovered a partial cure, and it’s your job to build and manage a facility capable of transforming the undead into “Humbies”—half-human, half-zombie hybrids that can help rebuild civilization.
Build, Defend, Cure, Repeat
The gameplay blends classic colony sim mechanics with real-time strategy elements. You’ll gather resources, assign tasks, and build up your lab while fending off zombie attacks each night. Captured zombies can be treated and converted into Humbies, who then become valuable workers within your base. But they come with their own needs—keep them fed, happy, and calm, or you might find yourself dealing with outbreaks from within.
Your research tree spans over 200 unlockable technologies, giving you long-term goals as you balance immediate survival with the dream of a full cure.
Key Features:
-
Construct and manage a cutting-edge research facility in the heart of zombie territory
-
Harvest and refine resources to fuel your lab’s economy and production
-
Strategically plan day/night shifts and balance energy and output
-
Capture and convert zombies into helpful Humbies to expand your workforce

Unlock 200+ technologies as you inch closer to a full zombie cure
Zombie Cure Lab is shaping up to be a fresh spin on the zombie genre—combining the challenge of survival sims with the heart of a redemption story. If you’re into management games with a twist and love a good post-apocalyptic rebuild, this one’s worth checking out when it drops on May 27.
