Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a cliché? Nope, it’s two new Season 5 missions. Get yourself warmed up and ready to play Sail Away and Liar Liar!
If you’re a Pro Member, you can download and play both missions immediately. Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to get either one.
As always, please let us know what you think!
Zombies, Run! The Boardgame is coming to Kickstarter this summer. We’ve been working on this game for almost two years, and we could not be more excited to share this with you all.
Like Zombies, Run!, our boardgame is super-innovative: it’s real-time, open world, story-driven, co-operative, and app-enhanced. It’s the boardgame you didn’t know you needed until this very moment. Prepare your wallets and gaming tables, Runners.
Hot on the heels of Zombies, Run! Season 5, we’re pleased to announce that ZR 5.0 is now rolling out on iOS and Android!
When you’re out in the field, the last thing you want is trouble with your software. For this update, we’ve focused on stability and reliability, meaning your runs will go smoother than ever. Aside from the zombies. And the people trying to kill you. Can’t help with those.
Base
We’ve shaken off the old ZR3 skin and given the base a lick of paint. Everything’s in its right place, with improvements all around.
You can now demolish buildings to your hearts content, and you’ll get back everything you spent on them. That sinking feeling when you accidentally dropped a farm in the wrong place: gone.
Prepare to expand Abel with brand new buildings for Season 4 and 5!
Fully accessible base on iOS with VoiceOver once again.
Various Improvements
We’ve squashed a huge stack of little issues in this update. For example, on Android we’ve got improvements to distance announcements and chases, making both a lot more reliable. On iOS, we’ve got UI refinements throughout the app. It looks good and feels great.
Forget your Jon Snow and your White Walkers. We’ve got Runner Five and the Zombies. Who cares about The Governor when you’ve got The Minister? Does any character in any medium even compare to Sam Yao? While we’re releasing, everyone else better step back. And we’ve got two hot new missions for you this week.
S5M3: Thorn In My Side
S5M4: Hanging On The Telephone
We are not playing with these. Abel needs you, Runner Five. Get after it.
If you’re a pro member, you can get both of these right now and run them before you eat your next meal. Otherwise, you can unlock either one right now with your free weekly unlock and save the other as a treat for later.
Let us know what you think in the comments or on twitter (zombiesrungame) and stay safe out there!
Zombies, Run! is coming to New York on Wednesday 22nd June!
We’ve booked a space for the evening in Juke Bar in the East Village and we’ll be there to say hi, swap ZR gossip, distribute swag, potentially show off our prototype boardgame, and much more…
We’re looking for a few brave volunteers who’ll help beta test Zombies, Run! so we can uncover bugs and unexpected behaviour. You’ll get a chance to see upcoming features before they’re released, but beware! You may encounter crashes and even data loss.
With nearly 4500 runs from 65 countries, the Spring 2016 Virtual Race has come to an end. Congratulations to all the Operatives 5 who took part!
We were super proud to hear that some of you set PRs, or were even racing for the very first time. Great job!
Here are just a few of the finisher’s pictures we received – thank you all!
In total, runners covered an incredible distance of 30,864km run during the race. You can check out all of the stats, including times by country, on the race leaderboard.
If you missed out on this Virtual Race – never fear. We’re planning more events like this in the future. To be the first to find out about upcoming Virtual Races, make sure you’re signed up to the mailing list.
