Before zombie games became a full-blown genre trend… Rockstar was already playing with the idea. 🧟♂️
Former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij has revealed new details about a cancelled early-2000s prototype internally known as Project Z.
Here’s what we know 👇
🧠 Early Concept
• A zombie-focused game concept developed in the early 2000s
• Built during Rockstar’s experimental phase between major releases
🎮 Internal Prototype
• Referred to internally as “Project Z”
• Never officially announced to the public
💀 Way Ahead of the Curve
• This was years before zombie games became a mainstream staple
• Could’ve pre-dated the modern open-world zombie boom
No gameplay footage has surfaced, and the project never moved beyond prototype stages — but it’s wild to think Rockstar nearly entered the zombie space long before it exploded in popularity.
