[h2]New Content[/h2]

[h3]Zombie New Scenario 8-2 Map [/h3]Pursuit: Planned Tragedy
  • New Super Soldier Project of Kronos: Queen's Story of the Past
  • A sudden power outage resulted in all the doors of the laboratory's experimental wards to open. Experiments such as Queen and Cyborg ended up escaping in midst of the chaos, even succeeding in hijacking a helicopter for their escape. Meanwhile, lab researchers monitored them from within the lab. They put together a tracking unit to lure them to a secure location and forced a crash landing by knocking out the helicopter rotors. Still, the Queen and her fellow experiments wished only to escape, but as they tried to leave the lavish, lifeless neon city, they were met by a horde of zombies and other, new experiments. All the while, the Kronos researchers were watching. Now a new experiment begins.
  • You can find detailed information in the [Zombie Scenario 8-2 Preview].



[h3]Game Improvements [/h3]
  • Inventory Lock System
    - Added a locking feature to prevent important items from being accidentally lost.

    - Fixed an issue where some Phobos wouldn't appear during Pursuit: Last Clue.

  • 6 BGM is now added to the Music Block in Studio Mode.
