Infestation: The New Beginning

Infestation: The New Beginning (also known as Infestation: The New Z) is a free-to-play survival MMO that has been running a sustained live service content cycle for years. The developer, Fredaikis AB, consistently delivers seasonal events, rotating Season Passes, and regular updates. The clearest indicator of ongoing content is the Season Pass cycle. Season Pass 20 ("Chromatic") ran November 2025 through March 2026. Season Pass 21 ("DISAR") launched March 26, 2026 and ran through August 17, 2026. Season Pass 22 ("Dynasty") launched on August 19, 2026 and is confirmed to run until January 11, 2027 — well beyond today's date of September 17, 2026. This roughly quarterly rotation of paid Season Passes has been maintained consistently. Alongside the Season Passes, the developer has delivered a steady stream of themed seasonal events: the Halloween 2025 event (October–November 2025), the Winter Miracle holiday event (December 2025–January 2026), and the Medieval 2026 event (July 10–August 3, 2026), all featuring exclusive cosmetics, themed maps, Twitch Drops, seasonal leaderboards, and bonus periods. The August 19, 2026 update note explicitly states that "more fixes, improvements, and content are already in the works." The combination of an active monetized Season Pass running into January 2027, a confirmed ongoing update cadence, and the developer's own statement that more content is in development makes it clear this game is designed to run as an ongoing live service with no defined end to its content cycle.
