Disbond: New Multiplayer Zombie FPS Demo Now Available on Steam
Steam Next Fest Debuts High-Stakes Infection Mechanics
Multiplayer zombie first-person shooter Disbond launched its free demo on Steam, entering the 2026 Steam Next Fest with a mechanics-driven match structure that turns allied teammates into sudden combat targets. Developed by Galin and published by Bozz Studio, the game opens every match with all participants spawning as humans.
Exactly twenty seconds into a round, one player transforms into a zombie, setting off a cascading infection where any human bitten by the undead switches factions. Galin structured the gameplay around accessible session mechanics rather than hyper-realism, drawing influence from classic competitive shooters and community infection modes.
Survival and Escape Modes Shift Cooperative Pacing
The title features two distinct map-based modes designed to alter cooperative pacing. In the survival mode, human players construct barricades to repel wave-based zombie attacks and hold defensive positions until the round timer expires.
Alternatively, the escape mode tasks the team with pushing toward a map objective while managing mobile undead threats.
Eight Playable Classes Divide Human and Zombie Factions
Official game documentation lists eight playable classes split evenly between human and zombie factions, providing four specialized roles per side.
Human options focus on firepower, mobility, and structural construction. Meanwhile, zombie kits supply movement, rushing capabilities, disruption tools, and camouflage mechanics.
Hardware Demands and Language Support on Steam
System requirements specify a Windows operating system requiring a minimum of 8 GB of memory and 20 GB of available storage space, with a recommended 16 GB of RAM. The current Steam page lists interface and subtitle support for Simplified China alongside full English audio, interface, and subtitles, though traditional Chinese language support is absent from the current configuration.
Festival Timeline Leaves Full Launch Unconfirmed
For players tracking the release timeline, the 2026 Steam Next Fest runs from October 20 at 1:00 a.m. Hong Kong time through October 27 at 1:00 a.m., aligning with the Pacific Daylight Time window of October 19 to 26.
The Steam storefront lists the free demo alongside a separate Playtest application entry, while the complete game remains listed as coming soon without a confirmed launch date or retail price.
