Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, as the name suggests, is your regular free-to-play version of Valve’s famous first-person multiplayer shooter which adds just a bunch of zombies into the mix, is expected to come out on PC via Steam on the 23rd of September, according to the game’s product page.
From the pictures you can make out that the game is based on the original CS engine. It features conventional Counter-Strike modes like Hostage Rescue and Bomb Diffusion and also the new PvE modes. These “Zombie Scenarios,” as they’re being called, include boss fights, unique player abilities, and more. There are about 20 different modes, 60 maps, and weapons that you probably won’t find in any other versions of Counter-Strike. In fact there is also an option which allows you to craft your own weapons or enhance the ones you have.
The game is fairly similar to Counter Strike Online, which was released back in 2008 as a free to play game in Asia, but offers not only new modes but also weapon and character customization options that according to Nexon sets it apart from the original. The most recent entry in the core series was 2012’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is currently available for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
Nexon is also working on Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski’s upcoming free-to-play game, which is under production as Project Bluestreak. Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies is also coming to Oceania and the Commonwealth of Independent States region.
