Zombies are everywhere these days -- in movies, on TV, and yes, in video games. This year more than any other in the past, zombies became a dominant theme. Should this influx of zombies lessen next year, then we'll be able to look back and call it a fad of 2010. But considering the success of zombies in games, we're likely to see more of the undead in the coming years, not less.
So why are zombies so popular?
Undead are the peace makers.
Seriously, like even to the point of criticizing a game for being complete out the box and not dropping microtransactions on a storefront every month. Outlets were really out here mad that Hogwarts Legacy was finished and didn't need any battle pass, or "seasons" of DLC. So brainwashed they don't even know how to handle a game with an actual ending.
The first time I felt like a game got DLC right was Borderlands 1. $10 for hours of content.
I paid $5 for Sleeping dogs DLC that added an entire campaign, new fighting styles and weapons, and basically turned the whole City into a zombie survival thing. Then another $5 for a full kickass tournament parading game of death which added an island, and lots of new fighting styles
Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 & 3, Borderlands 1 & 2, GTA IV - those are my gold standards of DLC.

Something they couldn’t even give us in GTAV or RDR2
I honestly thought we’d get some Alien type of DLC for one of them at least
GF365: "Here are the best zombie games for Xbox One. Many of these post-apocalyptic zombie games are also available on other platforms. Plus, you can play any of these games on Xbox Series X and S via backward compatibility."
The Undead Nightmare expansion for the original Red Dead Redemption was a massive success, and Rockstar should take this formula to a standalone game.
They already have; this expansion is their zombie game. No need to create a new IP just for this.
The author clear doesn’t understand the essence of what made the dlc so good… it wasn’t zombies and it definitely wasn’t a dedicated IP to zombies.
It was the sheer ambience and un seen mixing of a game with elements that were non existent in said game’s theme. It was a perfect fantasy mash up that changed the game in unbelievably awesome ways.
zombies are overrated, why do so many people have an obsession with them?
