A major update to Over 9000 Zombies! is now available marking its transition from Early Access to full release. But do not worry yourselves fellow survivors, this is not the end of development. The Zombie horde will continue to evolve and grow stronger over time.

Survivors from around the world have been called upon to take up arms and will find that the game is now available in multiple languages. Survivors will also find that the battle is faster paced. You may also encounter several new leader’s of the Zombie horde and your struggles against them will take place on new battlefields. Your battle interface has been improved upon to help aid you in your survival. Various random mutations that caused survivors issues in the past have been eradicated and survivors will find the battlefield to be more stable and easier to navigate.

We welcome all players to leave feedback about the new update in the game’s discussion forum. Also, since we are still moving forward with updates, we invite you to leave any suggestions or features you would like to see in future patches.

I would like to give a special thanks to Mastertronic and everyone in the community who helped post bug reports, feedback and suggestions!
