Announcing CURE's Roadmap for 2027

Hey Doctors!

A few weeks ago we asked what you’d most like to see added to CURE – A Hospital Simulator, and 1,539 of you responded. Thank you for taking the time to help shape the game.

Today, we’re sharing the roadmap those answers helped us build, from our upcoming Winter Update through the end of 2027.

What you told us - Survey Results

Across the survey’s weighted rankings, your top five gameplay priorities were:

1. Skill trees and player progression
2. CPR and patient resuscitation
3. Ambulance deliveries
4. CT scans
5. A zombie cure

Player progression also received 530 first-place rankings, making it the strongest individual favorite.

On the quality-of-life side, carts for moving boxes, laundry, and bodies took the top spot, with a larger inventory hotbar close behind. Status boards and bed indicators came next.

That gives us a clear direction: more ways to grow as a doctor, more depth in diagnosing and treating patients, and better tools for keeping your ER running.

Turning your feedback into a roadmap

You’ll see those priorities throughout our plans for 2027. Progression and inventory improvements are planned for winter, resuscitation for spring, ambulance deliveries for summer, and CT scanners and a zombie cure for fall.

Already in your ER

Before we look ahead, it’s worth taking a moment to see how much CURE has grown during Early Access.

You can now run blood and urine tests, manage patient happiness, customize your hospital, build dedicated rooms, and hire staff to help handle the workload. Our Call a Nurse update added nurses to assist with treatment and organizing supplies, along with an overhauled shelving system.

These systems form the foundation for what comes next.

Coming soon: The Winter Update

Before we head into 2027, winter is coming to CURE.

Expect winter weather, holiday decorations, and holiday tipping from patients. Extreme cold will also bring a new challenge to your ER, with heaters arriving to help you keep things warm. You should also expect winter related diseases and conditions to be a lot more frequent. After all - They don't call it "Flu Season" for nothing.

The roadmap for 2027: Progression and a more Manageable ER

Starting on January 2027, we will deliver a full year of updates to your favorite hospital sim. Based on the survey, your highest-ranked gameplay request leads our plans for the new year: XP and skill points.

Alongside progression, we’re planning expanded inventory space, improved healing and diagnostic skills and an overall sense of improvement to your performance as doctors. Yes, that also includes mandatory use of higher level healing items. Addressing the two leading quality-of-life requests. Trash compactors and carts will further quality-of-life improvements are also on the way.

Spring 2027: Ready the Crash Cart

Patient resuscitation was your second-highest gameplay priority, and it’s planned for spring alongside an AED crash cart.

We’re also planning controller support and additional quality-of-life improvements.

Summer 2027: Ambulance Arrivals and New Challenges

Your third-highest gameplay request, ambulance deliveries, is planned for summer.

The roadmap also includes pulse-ox diagnostics, vending machines, and a new zombie type. There are new tools coming for both sides of hospital life: looking after patients and surviving whatever comes through the door.

New weapon options, including shotguns, are also part of our plans for 2027.

Fall 2027: Getting Closer to a CURE

Two more of your top five gameplay priorities are planned for fall: CT scanners and a zombie cure.

Alongside those additions, we’re planning the first part of the campaign, localization into multiple languages, and further quality-of-life improvements.
