GTA Online Brings Back Zombies With A New Tropical Setting In New ‘Cayo Perico Survival’ Mode

As GTA Online continues to expand running for more than a decade now, Rockstar Games has still yet to cease on new updates; even with Grand Theft Auto VI set to release next year. In 2025 so far, there was a major update with the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Both story mode as well as its multiplayer counterpart, a major visual overhaul was added to match the versions on Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5. Additionally, GTA Online also added around the same time new arms smuggling missions part of the ‘Oscar Guzman Flies Again’ update in March.

Later this summer, GTA Online again further updated with new content for its recurring players. In that, the ‘Money Fronts’ update welcomed a trove of new money laundering opportunities for players to further indulge in the criminal underground and add another cashflow to their empire. And as we inch closer to the fall – especially Halloween season – many are hopeful to see another zombie mode alike in the previous North Yankton Survival from 2024.

Well this week, Rockstar Games announced that the undead will rise again. But instead of the setting that the game’s prologue took place in, it would be exploring Cayo Perico of the ‘Cayo Perico Heist’ from 2020. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“Your favorite island paradise just came down with a deadly case of party fever. As if a major narcotrafficking island wasn’t dangerous enough, it’s now been overrun by the undead — and maybe it’s the drugs or the tropical climate, but this time they’ve got a whole lot weirder.” Rockstar Games also confirms the new Survival Mode will also ship with a 2X rewards for both RP & GTA$ (GTA+ gets 4X).

“Cut your way through waves of undead, including conquistadors armed with muskets, Panther Trainers and their feral pets, swarms of Splitters, and more in the new Cayo Perico Survival. Fight through these hordes and make your way to the airstrip — then pray your evacuation plane doesn’t take too long.“
