GTA Online players have been waiting a long time for two things in particular: some brain-eating zombies to fight and an official return to the GTA 5 starting zone. Now that both promises have been fulfilled in the new Ludendorff Cemetery mode Survival, which came out on October 10, hundreds of thousands of players are arriving.
Rockstar Games announced the new mode last week, confirming that players will finally be able to return to North Yankton, which you may remember as the snow-covered town at the start of GTA 5, where Trevor and Michael rob a bank, kill some cops, and go bankrupt. their relationship for years.
GTA Online players haven't been able to explore the location without forcing their way through glitches for years, as it's somewhat disconnected from the open-world game's main landmass, so this is the first time people have been able to go. freely to North Yankton without the hassle.
North Yankton plus zombies appears to have been a big enough issue that 400,000 GTA Online players quickly jumped into the mode in its first 24 hours, according to GTAO Stats. That number has also skyrocketed and surpassed one million in recent days.
Rockstar Games Twitter user Tez2 noted that those player numbers are 270% higher than the crowd that attended the last major GTA Online event, Assault on ATT-16. Maybe the wave-based survival mode gave enough people warm memories of Left 4 Dead. Or maybe fans were longing for undead baddies to explode again in a Rockstar game after Undead Nightmare came out 14 years ago. Or maybe GTA is that big.
