Overview
Description

DayZ is a hardcore open-world survival game where your only goal is to stay alive no matter what. Navigate a massive post-apocalyptic landscape overrun by an infected zombie population while competing against other players for scarce resources, weapons, and medical supplies. Make critical choices about cooperation and betrayal as you forge your own story. Whether you team up with strangers or survive as a lone wolf, every decision matters in a persistent world where death is permanent and loses everything you've gathered.

Infestation: The New Z revives the classic Infestation: Survivor Stories, dropping players into sprawling Colorado and California maps where the undead roam and rival survivors clash. As a free-to-play MMO, it blends shooter mechanics with strategic survival, letting you scavenge, build, and fight both zombies and other players. The game emphasizes large‑scale PvP combat and cooperative zombie hunting, offering persistent worlds where every decision can mean life or death. With its horror‑filled atmosphere and sci‑fi twists, Infestation delivers relentless action for fans of survival shooters.
