Run Your Own Doomsday Cult in the Newly Revealed Co-Op Game Join Us
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Join Us is a newly announced co-op survival game where players build and manage a doomsday cult in a rural setting, featuring NPC conversion, tactical follower control, and four-player multiplayer.
If you have ever wondered how hard it is to manage a rural apocalypse commune, a new game called Join Us is ready to test your leadership skills. Revealed through a fresh trailer at IGN Fan Fest 2026, the game drops players into a sprawling countryside where the main objective is building a doomsday cult completely from scratch. Every single NPC wandering the game world is a potential convert. Once you bring them into the fold, every follower can be directly controlled, assigned to manual labor, or even used as a sacrifice when things get desperate.
Survival in the backwoods is rarely peaceful, and running a fanatical community means frequent firefights with local ranchers, police forces, and military units. You will need to shape your followers through a dynamic teaching system that lets you issue custom beliefs and doctrines to your flock. It is a chaotic mix of management sim and violent sandbox gameplay that looks tailor made for chaos with friends.
Beyond the solo narrative campaign, the game supports up to four player co-op. This means you and your regular squad can divide and conquer the rural landscape, managing farm chores and gunfights together. For all the details and to check out the initial footage, you can watch the full reveal over at IGN South Africa, and head to Steam to add the title to your wishlist.
