Evaluation

Zedfest launched into Early Access in 2021 and graduated to its 1.0 release on April 7, 2023. Since launch, the developer (Diagrammet AB) has maintained a pattern of seasonal updates, typically timed around holidays — a Halloween update in October 2023 (v1.1), a content patch in November 2023 (v1.12), and a Halloween update in October 2024 (v1.13). That October 2024 update (v1.13) is the most recent developer communication on record, and it represents the last major content drop, adding a new boss, a new enemy type, a new throwable weapon, and seasonal challenges. Looking at the cadence of major named updates: October 2023 (v1.1) and October 2024 (v1.13) — roughly a 12-month interval. As of June 26, 2026, it has been approximately 20 months since the last update of any kind, well beyond that 12-month interval and far past the 6-month silence threshold. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no announced roadmap or future content, and no developer statement about ongoing plans. The store description still references "Early Access release" in one bullet point (a legacy line from before the 1.0 launch), but this does not reflect current development intent. The developer has not issued any distress signals either. The pattern points to a game that has quietly concluded its post-launch content cycle following the October 2024 Halloween update, with no indication that further updates are coming.
Evidence
Version 1.13 Halloween update shipped, adding a new boss (Electro Techno Head), a new enemy (Bomberman), a new throwable (Red Barrel), an auto-refill feature, seasonal challenges, and a new achievement. This is the most recent developer communication of any kind.

About this game



Welcome to Zedfest, the goriest game show ever created! Up to 6 Players work together to complete objectives while killing Zeds with lots and lots of visceral gore. The Zeds are mentally defective creatures created by worthless biologists, built with an A.I that´s even more shitty and designed by underqualified engineers. Some DNA used was taken from animals such as pigs and horses for that extra enjoyable meaty experience. They have the sole purpose of trying to stop the contestant from completing their objectives and die for entertainment. Making them the perfect material for the show.


  • SINGLEPLAYER OR MULTIPLAYER - No friends? No problem. You can play just as fine by yourself. But you sure will have a lot more fun if you had friends.
  • ONLINE LEADERBOARD - Compete with players from around the globe! Statistics such as current wave, difficulty, zed-kills and total Score gets uploaded along with your Steam Username.
  • CLASS AND CHARACTER SELECTION - Choose between 5 classes! They all have different attributes and weapon-loadouts. More than 30 weapons, grenades and equipment pieces are available at Early Access release!
  • GAME MODES - Lure Zeds into the Shredding Machine and watch their bodyparts fly all over the place, Escort and defend Lennart while he's doing something important or collect and destroy the Snus virus in Objective Mode Or Hunt zeds in classic Horde Mode! Invite your friends and try to reach as far as possible!
  • PERSISTENT BLOOD - Shoot the limbs off the zeds and watch the Blood squirt all over the place! The blood persists throughout the game and will never disappear.
  • PERK CONFIGURATION - Different perks for different play styles. Do you want to be a Narcissistic Doctor and go with a self defense build, or help out your teammates by going for a multipurpose "janitor" build?
  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - Powerful Zeds with different melee and ranged attacks. They may work as a group so be careful, or not.
