Projekt Zwas first revealed in May 2022 as part of acrowdfunding campaign via Kickstarter. Developer 314 Arts set a goal of €100,000, but the Kickstarter was canceled after raising just €35,805 as it was unlikely to reach its goal.

A reveal forProjekt Zhas now been made. As part of the Feardemic Fear Fest 2023 event, Modus and 314 Arts have shared a new trailer forProjekt Zproviding a look at what the zombie game has grown into. The trailer focuses on the story ofProjekt Z, which starts with the players' airplane crashing on a remote island controlled by theNazis during WW2. What they discover on the island is a Nazi plan to weaponize zombies that went seriously awry.
While it’s unclear how much of the game first teased on Kickstarter remains and what it has since changed into, the newProjekt Ztrailer does hint at one feature that’s been kept. The originalProjekt Zreveal promised robust crafting systems. In the new trailer, there is a glimpse of support for robust weapon customization being included in the game.
Unfortunately, the trailer does not delve into one ofProjekt Z’s most creative and interesting features, its Hideout system. The Hideout is a hub where players will be able to build a base, gather NPCs, and upgrade weapons and gear. The trailer instead focuses onProjekt Z’s first-person zombie-killing mayhemand WW2 setting.
There’s still a lot aboutProjekt Zleft to share, it seems. But this is a good way to start revealing whatProjekt Zis becoming now that 314 Arts has partnered with Modus Games. Some things left to clarify include whetherProjekt Zwill be a free-to-play game, how much of anEscape from Tarkov-like experiencewill be at its heart, and whether there are still plans to bring it to console. For now, it looks like an exciting WW2 zombie shooter with co-op.
