Zombies arrives in Bodycam: ultra-realistic round-based survival (November 2024)
In early November 2024, Bodycam launched a round-based Zombies mode on the Asylum map. How it worked and why it became a pillar of the game.
As promised at launch, Reissad Studio released Zombies mode in early November 2024, right in the Halloween season. It was the game's first cooperative PvE mode.
How it works
- Round-based survival: hold out against increasingly tough waves of undead, solo or as a team.
- Scarce resources: you have to scavenge and manage weapons across the map.
- Horror: the bodycam view, darkness and environmental jump scares turn every corridor into a risk.
The studio summed up its goal as delivering the "most realistic, terrifying, and immersive round-based zombie experience ever created".
The launch map was Asylum, a psychiatric hospital that suits the found-footage look perfectly. According to press coverage, the Asylum event drew around 600,000 players.
Why it matters
That success shaped the game's direction. A year later the mode got its biggest map yet, Village, in v0.7.0, and in December 2025 the studio made it permanent as an "experimental lab" for new features.
In v0.8 the mode is temporarily disabled. Here's when Zombies is coming back.
