Croatian developer Ajvar Studio has announced Sunset Survival: Miami — a top-down PvE extraction shooter set in a neon-drenched, mutant-overrun version of Miami — during the Games from Croatia 2026 Steam Festival. Raid the city for supplies, blast through enemy hordes, escape with your loot, and upgrade your island base between runs. No release date has been confirmed yet.
The concept is a deliberate love letter to Miami’s pop culture identity: founder Zoran Domuzin cites Scarface, Vice City, and Miami Vice as touchstones alongside classic zombie horror. The result is a game that takes the sun-baked glamour of the city — luxury hotels, neon-lit nightclubs, palm-lined beaches — and turns all of it into a death trap. Mutant-infested nests where the hotel lobbies used to be. Sand pits where the beaches were. And somewhere in the darkness, the rarest loot in the game.
The Loop: Raid, Extract, Upgrade
Sunset Survival: Miami is built around a core extraction loop: venture into the city, scavenge what you can from hotels, bars, apartments and nightclubs, fight through mutant hordes, and make it back to your island base alive — because if you die, everything you found stays in the dirt. The extraction is varied: fight your way back to your boat, defend a helipad, or strap yourself to a lawn chair rigged with propane tanks. The game does not appear to be taking itself entirely seriously, which is the correct call given the source material.
Day and night create a genuine risk-reward tension. Miami is dangerous in daylight; after dark it becomes genuinely hostile, with the worst mutants emerging and the city going pitch black — you’re left with a flashlight whose battery will run out. But nighttime is also when the rarest loot spawns. Every run asks whether you push further, stay longer, or play it safe and get out with what you have.
