MONTREAL — February 26, 2026 — Today, Wolf Haus Games dropped the second trailer for its upcoming PC game JOIN US, a darkly satirical story-driven survival game that lets players design and command their own doomsday cult to prepare for the impending apocalypse. JOIN US builds upon established pillars of the survival genre, allowing solo players (or up to 4 friends in 2 to 4-player co-op) to grow their cult from the ground up, either in sandbox mode or as part of a 15-hour-plus scripted narrative campaign.
Today’s trailer showcases the game’s Teaching system, a dynamic skill tree that allows players to mix and match various beliefs to craft the cult of their dreams. Do you want to be a cult of moon-worshipping cannibals or alien enthusiasts who also ride bears? Watch now.
Wolf Haus Games’ debut project, JOIN US, embodies the 10-person Montreal-based team’s passion for grindhouse cinema, dark comedy, deeply challenging mechanics, and narrative-driven survival games.
Since the game’s first trailer debuted in September 2025, JOIN US has surpassed 200,000 wishlists on Steam, and generated buzz across social media for its edgy (and absurd) content. The game’s first trailer has been viewed more than 10 million times across all channels and user reposts. Both the first and second trailers were created entirely in-engine using gameplay footage. Wolf Haus Games is creating JOIN US on Unreal Engine, version 5.7.
In JOIN US, players (and their friends if playing in co-op), are devout members of a doomsday cult, sent to establish a new chapter in a fictional rural US county. While you must heed the wise words of The Leader, this “franchise” is yours to command and shape as you please. Players can inhabit any member of the cult at any time, so there is not a single protagonist - instead an omnipresent antagonist drives the narrative. You are free to explore the open world as you recruit followers, design your own belief system, and scale a compound to accommodate your growing ‘family.’ Locals will not take kindly to outsiders, so you’ll be forced to protect your flock… by any means necessary (including but not limited to flamethrowers and battle-pigs).
With the apocalypse just around the corner, you’ll want your compound to be well-stocked with the essentials: food, supplies, and ammo. But your most important resource is your followers. After all, a cult leader with no followers is just a lonely weirdo. Get the word out with propaganda and you’ll be able to recruit lost souls to a better life. As your forces grow, so will your infamy; take the fight against non-believers to their doorstep and you can capture and extend your cult’s footprint.
JOIN US’s up-to-4-player co-op mode will be peer-to-peer hosted when the game launches dedicated servers planned post-launch. The game can be played offline in singleplayer mode. JOIN US will be available on Steam and the Epic Store upon launch and on other platforms at a later date.
Assets for JOIN US can be found here.
