The story so far

What we know about Join Us

JOIN US is a satirical open-world survival game from Wolf Haus Games, a small Montreal studio that also publishes it. Instead of fighting a cult, the player starts one: recruiting followers, building a compound, shaping the group's belief system and defending it against enemies. It can be played solo or in online co-op for up to four players.

The Steam page describes violence inspired by 1970s grindhouse cinema, framed with humour, and mentions permanent character death. Followers are the main resource, and a Teachings system is used to shape how they behave and fight, according to the developer's announcement. A narrative campaign runs through the open world.

JOIN US is set for March 2027 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S and PS5, with day-one access on Xbox Game Pass. An exact release day has not been given.
