[Dev Letter] Zombie Hero Classic Update Direction Talk



Hello, Survivors. This is Counter-Strike Nexon.
We would like to provide you with detailed information on the updates for the [ZHC] M4A1 Dark Knight and [ZHC] AK47 Paladin, which will be added in the next patch. We'd also like to discuss the update direction for the Zombie Hero Classic (ZHC) mode, including these weapons.

[h3]Development Direction of Zombie Hero Classic[/h3]

As we've mentioned before, Zombie Hero Classic is not being developed to copy over the mode from the past,
but rather as a new mode recreated to fit the current gaming environment.
Currently, we're seeing familiar content being updated for it, but moving forward, we plan to provide new content and experiences beyond what was there in the past,
ultimately providing a broader sense of enjoyment.


[h3]Purpose of New Weapon Balance Adjustment[/h3]

The [ZHC] M4A1 Dark Knight and [ZHC] AK-47 Paladin were also balanced with the same direction mentioned above.
We initially considered releasing the two weapons with intentionally lowered performance,
but we figured it wouldn't be appropriate, given what those weapons represent.
Thus, the two weapons will not outperform everything like before, but rather be a meaningful choice even in the current gaming environment.
We will continue to implement meticulous balance updates, to preserve the core fun of the mode while enhancing each weapon's unique character and utility.


[h3]Upcoming Updates[/h3]

The upcoming update will feature new content focused on scalability and potential.
While it's still in development and we can't share specifics yet, a new type of zombie is scheduled to appear in Hero Classic Mode.
This will introduce a entirely new direction for content expansion.
We will provide more details in a future developer letter soon.


To thank you for your continued interest and support, we will continue to do our utmost to prepare even more polished content.
Thank you!

From the Counter-Strike Nexon Development Team
