Wemade Max said on the 19th that its new title "The Midnight Walkers" has surpassed 300,000 Steam wishlists. The Steam wishlist count is a representative indicator that shows user interest and expectations before official release, and is used as a benchmark to gauge a game's potential success in the global market.
Ahead of its Steam Early Access launch on the 29th, "The Midnight Walkers" has steadily engaged global users by releasing a demo at major international game events, including a global playtest, gamescom, and Steam Next Fest. Through this process, user interest continued to grow, leading to 300,000 wishlists before Early Access.
As new extraction-genre titles continue to appear and expectations for the genre as a whole rise, "The Midnight Walkers" is also drawing attention from global users ahead of Early Access. Its differentiated elements—such as a zombie apocalypse setting, a vertical lockdown system, and sustained communication with users through the global messenger Discord—have driven up anticipation.
"The Midnight Walkers" will be released simultaneously worldwide via the Steam platform at 11 a.m. Korea time on the 29th and 6 p.m. Pacific time on Jan. 28. During Early Access, the developer plans to continue development with the goal of an official release within the year by incorporating user feedback to improve polish.
