Zombies are creeping into GTA Online for the very first time in a new mode that sends us back to an under-utilized area from GTA 5's campaign.
You might remember North Yankton as the snowy old town where GTA 5's story kicks off as slightly younger versions of Michael and Trevor rob a bank, run away from the law, and ruin their friendship for a good few years. North Yankton makes a very brief appearance in a later mission, but it's a relatively untapped area in the open-world romp that GTA Online players specifically would need to use a series of glitches to re-enter - until now, that is.
Rockstar Games might not be unleashing the parasitic plague onto Los Santos' main map, as it did with Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare expansion all those years ago, but there are tons of infested mods that already do that for anyone hoping to see a zombie outbreak in the open-world sandbox proper.
The zombie brain-bashing should at least keep us occupied while the long and arduous wait for GTA 6 continues. While Rockstar Games has only ever put a vague 2025 window on the title, one former developer speculated that the studio won't know if GTA 6 will need to be delayed until next year. He also reckoned that Rockstar Games is in no rush since "there is no competition" and GTA 6 will "sell for 10+ years" if it releases in a good state.
