Evaluation

Infection Free Zone entered Early Access on April 11, 2024 and remains explicitly unfinished. Jutsu Games has maintained an exceptionally active development cadence throughout the Early Access period, shipping six major content updates and dozens of bug fix and feature patches. The most recent major update — Major Update #6, featuring explosives mechanics, a new priority system, story mode settings, a tank vehicle, mortars, and much more — launched on June 5, 2026. The console release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S followed on August 27, 2026, developed in partnership with Ultimate Games S.A. Most tellingly, the August 24, 2026 bug fix post (Bugfix Update #43) explicitly states: "we're also slowly working towards the first part of the Major Update #7 Preview announcement... The first part of the preview should be ready within the next few weeks." This is a direct developer statement that substantial new content is already in development. In November 2025, the developer stated they "don't plan to slow down," and the output has backed that up consistently. There is no announced 1.0 release date and no indication that development is winding down. The only DLC is a cosmetic Supporter Pack released October 18, 2025, which the developer described as a way to financially support development and has no bearing on the content roadmap.

About this game

“The Mad Virus” has spread throughout the world with the speed of jet planes. The infected are highly aggressive, fast and strong. In a couple of weeks, society collapsed. Cities are empty. There is no electricity, no water, and no food. Yet, there are a few survivors...

Type in the name of the city or town, download the map and start playing! Thanks to OpenStreetMap’s real-world data, you can choose any place in the world for your survivors.

Establish a new “Infection Free Zone” wherever you choose. Set up shelters and production facilities. Adapt existing buildings to new needs. Build new farms and power houses. Establish defenses with walls, gates, and towers.

Utilize your knowledge of the city. What is the best place to defend? Where were the grocery stores, where were the pharmacies? Where would you look for weapons? Remember that it’s dangerous to search the old buildings, there might be some infected lurking in the dark!

Each night, your settlement might be attacked by large hordes of the infected. Fight them off with every tool available - melee and ranged weapons, vehicles, walls and light. Research a vaccine or a cure for ultimate victory, or just enjoy rebuilding entire cities!


Your survivors will surely find other surviving groups. Some will be friendly and willing to trade, but others will be extremely hostile. There might be some fighting involved!
