Reboot of Infestation Survivor Stories
Dear players,

This is the Swedish development team at Fredaikis speaking. Since 2015 we have been developing the title "Infestation: The New Z" which is based on I:SS code but targeted more towards PvP where loot is much more easily obtained compared to old I:SS.
This has become very popular among many players, but there's still a big part of you who are asking us almost on a daily basis to adapt The New Z more to what I:SS used to be in terms of gameplay and loot.

We have therefore in the past months been doing exactly so, reworking loot and gameplay on our "Survival" mode in New Z aimed to be just like in classic I:SS and have asked OP Productions for permission to release it for everyone who in the past purchased Infestation: Survivor Stories on Steam.

On the 15th of October we are therefore wiping the Survival mode in New Z, replacing the loot tables with the new ones that we have been working on in the past months, giving everyone a fresh start at equal conditions. The game will of course be free-to-play.

Our goal is to bring you the same type of gameplay that you enjoyed in I:SS together with the many new features, content & bug fixes we have done over the years, including new zombies, alien zombies, random map events like Airdrops with loot, helicopter crashes infested with the dead and military grade weaponry and radiation zones where you won't be able to breath without proper tools.
A new flea market where you can sell your items for in-game currency
All fixes and tweaks we've made over years on the game and a new UI to better suit all your needs.
All that topped up with a functional and top-of-the-market Anticheat exclusively developed for the game and engine!
Come join the good times where survival is your main goal! Fight zombies and players alike and try to get through each night!
We hope to see you on the 15th of October!

Best Wishes from the Fredaikis Team

That do notr concern me, imagine how many cheaters will be there if game is F2P... Fredaikis & team, I wish you the best. I'll give it a try and dive into it, but once i'll be getting killed more than once a day by cheater I will simply quit :)

Br,

Im not understanding if this and NewZ will be the same game or separate games?
I saw they will wipe their survival game on NewZ...im not understanding if this ISS classic will be into NewZ or if they will be a separate game? I really miss the OLD WarZ/ISS and i hated NewZ...they did a new mode in MewZ wich calls Survival mode but is very bad...they just destroyed the feeling of this game. I hope with this new one (same game ISS classic) can be great like ISS...good old times.

So we will have to download this ISS classic again correct? i hope this has nothing to do with NewZ..i really hope

I am from the time that the game was of the Hammerpoint company, the name was War Z and I bought the Legendary account at ALPHA, it is sad to see the company try to suck the most out of a classic game, without investing in technology for have a modern game with a new engine. Legacy of War Z doesn't deserve what they're doing with the game :(

"Our goal is to bring you the same type of gameplay that you enjoyed in I:SS together"
So basically "stay away" then. What I remember is zillion bugs, safezone camping, and I think we got a new crosshair update at one point to deal with all of it.

They are opening all the servers and letting everyone who bought this game play again. This game has been constantly updated, fixed bugs, added content since the rights were purchased like 4/5 years ago as The New Z. Sit tight and wait for more news.

Btw, you have 2k hours in The New Z. You should know how much has been fixed and how few the cheaters are.

We can all agree that ISS had a rocky ending, but this is a new beginning. Hope to see you all in Clearview!

Seems a pretty decent map, but i love the colorado too. Colorado is Colorado.
Fredaikis, just please dont make it like NewZ, we just want it like old ISS and the same gameplay. Not the NewZ gameplay etc...

Could you specify what you mean with "NewZ" gameplay?

Well when i say gameplay is about the mechanic of the game. the same weapons, same armor, not weird armor. IBA , MTV FOREST, CUSTOM GUERRILLA , light gear etc... but not weird loot, and of course the same movements interactions etc.. i really cant wait to try the game, and finally ISS is back, the best game ever, this game could be so sucessful..
