The alpha tests will feature four-player cooperative play, new base building and resource strategies, and combat.
"If scavenging supplies in the middle of a zombie outbreak sounds fun to you, then grab your ruck, pack some mags, and head over to our website to find more information and register for a chance to be included in the alpha," said Undead labs' Brant Fitzgerald. "If you don’t get contacted for this round, don’t worry, we’ll keep your name on the list and have plenty of other opportunities for you throughout the year."
