GTA 5’s new Halloween theme has revived the game, attracting 1.2 million unique players within a week of its release.
On October 10, a limited-time mode was announced for Grand Theft Auto online as part of the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC drip-feed content. This new mode is called Ludendorff Cemetery Survival and is set in North Yankton. The location is a snowy town introduced at the beginning of the GTA 5 story, and it is one of the hardest locations for players to enter.
In the new game mode, players are supposed to survive and kill the wave of zombies. Before the release, players weren’t sure what to expect from the new theme but now that the mode has been released, players have found the zombie part to be really interesting. The zombie mode has revived interest among players, with 400,000 returning to the game within 24 hours.
GTA 5 Zombie Game Mode Takes the Spotlight
GTA Online Ludendorff zombie survival mode has outshined all the earlier time-limited modes of Grand Theft Auto. Since October 10, an impressive 1.2 million unique players have gone up against the undead, marking a 270% increase in the player count of the ATT-16, an Adversary Model featured in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Assault on ATT-16 allows players to be a part of a multi-stage operation that revolves around the second-largest military ship in the GTA games, the USS Luxington ATT-16. While the mode sounds interesting, it does not involve zombies.
In the Lundendorff Cemetery mode, players are allowed to team up and clean up the wave of zombies by using anything they can get their hands on during the fight. The players can also use power-ups, just like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies. For now, the number of zombies to kill in the wave is 15 but anything above 10 can be considered good. If players can get a double-digit kill, they will win a Ludendorff Survival outfit. Also, if players manage to kill 15 zombies, they will get a platinum achievement for the survival mode.

While the new mode is getting a huge response from the players, the preparation to release GTA 6 is in full swing. GTA 6 is expected to release in the fall of 2025. Some conflicting reports suggest that the production is delayed and the company can push the release to 2026 but many other sources have refused the claims. There is a lot of buzz and expectations behind GTA 6 and it will be great to see the release of the game and how it lives up to expectations.
