School Bus Zombie Survival Game ROUTE Gets Official Reveal: Wishlist Now Open

BamBit has officially revealed ROUTE, a co-op survival game set in permanent darkness, and opened its Steam wishlist on July 8, 2026. The studio published a reveal teaser trailer to YouTube and simultaneously launched the wishlist page, while no release date or Early Access window was announced. ROUTE tasks up to four players inside a school bus that they must drive, fortify, and supply through a zombie-overrun world where players cannot leave their base behind. Multiplayer is limited to friends via Steam invites, with proximity voice chat that changes how communication works depending on whether players are together on the bus or split on foot. Solo play is supported without a squad, including offline single-player alongside online co-op. The article also compares ROUTE’s approach to other mobile-base survival titles, emphasizing its first-person perspective and bus-centric setting.
