The full release is here today! Team up, take on the hordes, and push your survival skills to the limit!
Hello, survivors! After three years of Early Access updates, ZED ZONE is finally launching version 1.0! The long-awaited multiplayer feature is also here. Grab your friends and embark on a new journey of survival in the apocalypse!
The new Horde Mode will put your firepower and teamwork to the test! Fight solo or team up with friends to protect your base vehicle against wave after wave of increasingly powerful zombies. Supply airdrops arrive after each round. Upgrade your gear, adjust your tactics, and hold the line as the attacks grow ever more relentless. How many waves can you survive, and how high can you climb on the leaderboard?
To celebrate the full release, we're hosting a four-player co-op survival challenge in Horde Mode. All players are invited to form a team and compete for the highest survival score! Who will hold a place among the leaders, and who will make a comeback to claim the top spot?
Rally your teammates and get ready to fight — don't just survive, survive in style!

Important information
Only the four-player Horde Mode leaderboard counts. All other leaderboards are excluded.
Scores are determined by the in-game leaderboard. Screenshots are used only for registration and to match entries to player identities.
You must own a legitimate copy of ZED ZONE, use your own account, and play for at least 2 hours during the event.
If you submit multiple entries, only your best score will count, and you may receive only one prize. Any duplicate prize-winning places will pass to the next eligible participant.
Confirmed use of trainers, console commands, save-file swapping, account boosting, or doctored screenshots will result in disqualification, with the reason stated in the public results announcement.
The organizers reserve the right to use entrants' nicknames and scores in the public results announcement and event recap.
If you have any questions, leave a comment. We'll address them as soon as we see your message.
