Weird Westis a singleplayer RPG which functions like a modern take on classicFallout, but it’s also a game released in 2022, and that means there’s a post-launch content roadmap including several community events. The first of those events is live now, and it sees zombies invading the game for a limited time. You’ll find a trailer below.

Weird West | Plague Community Event + Roadmap Reveal
“Reports are rolling in from across the Weird West of a plague of undead rising from the grave! Worse, a terrible sickness seems to follow in their wake,” says the announcement. Is any sickness worse than flesh-eating reanimated corpses literally rising from the grave? Isn’t a plague of undead also a kind of sickness? Many questions arise.
Its popularity is happy news, too, if you believe Jeremy Peel’sWeird West review, which was filled with praise. I was particularly interested in its against-type real-time combat:
I’ll play a Larian game the day they let me slow-mo dive while firing a shotgun.
Weird West’s zombie outbreak will run for a “limited time”, though there’s no specific end date yet. Next on the roadmap is a content pack, then “Nimpossible mode,” and more events planned thereafter and all of it free.
