After being delayed from its original 2025 window, Quarantine Zone: The Last Checkpoint is now officially scheduled to launch in early January 2026. Thanks to its fresh take on zombie survival and several innovative gameplay systems rarely seen in the genre, it’s quickly becoming one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.
With just a few weeks left until launch, I’ve put together a release countdown to help pass the time until players can finally jump in.
