Zombies is back in Bodycam, but only until February 15, 2027, Reissad Studio said on November 13, 2026, in its v0.9 launch post. The update, The Dead & Damned, went live that day for every owner of the Early Access game on Steam, with a new Zombie Trenches mode and reworked Village and Asylum maps. After February 15, the studio says, Zombies comes out again “so the team can stay focused on what comes next, including v0.10.” Reissad had taken the mode offline in early September, when its Locked & Loaded update shipped.
How to Play Zombies Now
- Let Steam install v0.9.
- Equip your loadout first: the new Loadout box in a match hands you its primary and secondary weapons. v0.9 also lets you save 7 loadouts, up from 5.
- Create a Zombies game directly and bring up to three friends. With no party system yet, that is the studio’s own advice.
The Three Maps
- Zombie Trenches (new): co-op for up to 4 players. You survive for 10 minutes on the Trenches map at night, in heavy rain, lightning and fog, against a dedicated zombie roster that includes gas-mask zombies. A radio announcer calls out the time at the start and at 5, 2 and 1 minute left.
- Village: new lighting with volumetric fog, plus a new special wave of sprinters only, with the church bell ringing non-stop.
- Asylum: the special wave now comes every 5 waves instead of 6, and from wave 2 a few sprinters can turn up in regular waves.
Across every map, box weapons now come with random attachments, zombie health no longer scales with waves, sprinters die to one shot from any weapon, and Zombies matches now earn Reissad Points.
What Else v0.9 Adds
- Easy Anti-Cheat in PC peer-to-peer matches, which Reissad calls a first step.
- Public Pool gets a full visual rework.
- A drone and RC car room in the lobby, with a drone race designed with TRYP FPV, FPV radio controller support, a dirt track and lap times.
- Two loadout weapons: the TK-9 machine pistol as a secondary, and the crossbow, which used to come only from the end of the Village secret.
The party system is not part of v0.9: Reissad calls it its number one priority, with no date. Next comes planning for v0.10 and 1.0, with a roadmap expected in early 2027.
What This Means for Players
You have about three months of Zombies, so bank the Reissad Points it now pays while it is up; our weapons and attachments unlock guide covers what to spend them on. Our Zombies return guide and Bodycam PvE guide explain the mode in more detail, and squads should read our play with friends guide while Quick Play stays solo queue. Every Bodycam guide is on our Bodycam hub.
