Over a million players have flooded back into GTA Online to check out a new Call of Duty-like zombie mode

Last week, Rockstar Games announced a new limited-time zombie mode for GTA Online that would see hordes of the undead let loose around North Yankton. This snowy town is from the beginning of GTA 5’s story, a location that players haven’t been let back into for a very long time (unless you could master a series of glitches to clip into the area). At first, players weren’t quite sure what was in store for them, but now that the mode is out, it’s clear that zombies are a recipe for success. 

The Lundendorff Cemerty Survival mode has completely outshone previous GTA Online events. Just over 400,000 players jumped back into the game to check the new mode out in the first 24 hours, according to GTA Online Stats. But since it released on October 10, an impressive 1,269,173 unique players have gone up against the undead. One Twitter user known for monitoring Rockstar games noted that this marked “a 270% increase over the player count for the Assault on ATT-16 mode during the same period.”
