There’s no shortage of zombie-themed games on Steam, but The Walking Trade felt unique. It’s a store management game set in the zombie apocalypse where you run a barter-based shop, trading supplies and weapons to the denizens of the wasteland. Or, you could sacrifice those same survivors for their goods, then make a profit. It’s up to you! The Walking Trade roadmap just unveiled new content coming to the zombie store management game in the coming months, and we’re excited!
The Walking Trade Roadmap
May/June 2026 – Housekeeping
- Full Controller Support
- Full Steam Deck compatibility
- A deeper focus on optimisation, particularly during raids
Late Summer 2026 – Rooftop Farming
- Unlock the ladder in the Warehouse to reach the store roof
- Plant, grow, and harvest fresh produce to sell, donate, or craft
- Discover Meadowspring Farms on the World Map for access to tools and seeds
- Uncover the secrets of the local Tribe and gain their favour for unique rewards
Late 2026 – Into the Bunker
- Prepare to explore the sprawling bunker depths
- Encounter new enemy and boss types
- Return to the surface before your gas mask fully depletes to keep and sell your loot
Personally, I love the idea of the Bunker. I want to delve into the depths of the apocalypse, scouring dark hallways with little more than a flashlight in search of rare loot. Can you imagine the profits? How many batteries will old world goods sell for?!
