Hello Survivors!

It has been a while—over months, to be exact! We know it has been quiet on our end, but we haven't been idle. The SCF team has been hard at work behind the scenes, and we are thrilled to officially announce that Update 1.6.0 is coming soon!

We wanted to make sure our next update brought meaningful changes, fun new content, and the chaotic co-op energy you love. Up to 6 players can play together, so get your squad ready! Here is a sneak peek at what you can expect when 1.6.0 drops:

  • Expanded Arsenal: We are introducing brand-new weapons to help you mow down the undead. On top of that, we have rebalanced and improved your old favorites so every weapon feels viable and satisfying to use.

  • Fresh Upgrade Cards: We are expanding our roguelike upgrade system. Prepare to discover new upgrade cards to create even crazier, unstoppable "cheat" builds.

  • Deadlier Boss Waves: You asked for a challenge, and we are delivering. Boss fights will push your survival skills to the limit. Bosses will now be surrounded by a much more serious, overwhelming amount of zombies. Coordination with your team will be more important than ever!

  • Game Logic & Quality of Life: We’ve gone under the hood to improve the core game rules and logic for a smoother experience. Expect several QoL improvements that will make navigating the game and upgrading your characters feel better than ever.

We are incredibly grateful for your patience and support while we cooked up this update. As always, we value your thoughts and rely on your feedback to make Around Us: Zombie Shooter the best it can be.

Sneak peak for our new upcoming update...

This skill will be gone viral??
