This decade-old Early Access title on Steam is getting a major overhaul soon, which will completely change the survival zombie horror game.

• Project Zomboid Build 42 is the biggest update to the game yet, with new crafting mechanics, weapons, customization options, and the ability to extend the length of sandbox campaigns.
• Players can access the new features early by joining the Project Zomboid test branch, although there is a risk of encountering bugs or corrupt save files.
• The update will introduce new professions like Blacksmithing, Stonework, and Brewing, allowing players to be more self-sufficient and create advanced weapons.
