SurroundDead: New Release Announces Major Update with Infection System, Expanded Bunkers and More

October 03, 2025 - Today, developers of SurrounDead, an open world survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, announced the release of their latest update. This update introduces a host of new features designed to enhance gameplay and immersion.

The most anticipated addition is the infection system, which allows players to choose between seeking a cure or embracing the infection. This feature adds depth to character development and strategic decision-making. Additionally, all bunkers have been remade with unique designs and expanded lore, offering players new opportunities for exploration and survival.

For those who prefer to avoid the infection mechanic, it can be toggled off in the settings. Other notable updates include an expansion of the subway and sewer systems, complete with random events that add unpredictability to gameplay. Players will also find new Points of Interest (POIs), such as a riverside lodge, which promise fresh challenges and discoveries.

Beyond these content additions, the update includes quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to ensure a smoother experience for all players. More details about this update are available on the official Steam announcement page.

Survival enthusiasts are encouraged to dive back into SurrounDead and experience these enhancements. With its dynamic world, challenging gameplay, and continuous updates, SurrounDead remains a standout title in the open-world survival genre.
