Evaluation
Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn launched on March 13, 2015 and received a series of post-launch updates through 2016, with the last patch (version 1.4.01) shipping on August 28, 2016. The developer explicitly confirmed this in a June 2024 post, noting "The last update for Reborn was in 2016!" — making clear that the game has not received substantive updates in nearly a decade.
Since 2016, the developer's attention has shifted entirely to new projects. In May 2024, they announced a sequel called "Zombie Kill of the Week - Forever," followed by early gameplay footage in June 2024. By June 2025, however, the developer disclosed that Forever had fallen through ("things went belly up") and pivoted to announcing a different new entry in the franchise, referred to as "ZKW [Redacted]." As of January 2026, the developer was still pitching that new game to publishers, with no confirmed funding or release plan.
All of this activity concerns a new, separate game — not Reborn. Reborn itself has one released DLC (the soundtrack, April 2015) and no unreleased content. The game is a complete, standalone product that launched and was fully updated by August 2016.

About this game
Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn is a challenging, fast paced, 2D survival shooter! And when we say fast, we mean breakneck, flat-out, adrenaline fuelled fast! What’s different from the other shooters is your goal isn’t to run through levels and finish the game, but to survive for as long as possible under increasingly frantic conditions (we say as long as possible because ultimately you will die!).
Seems simple enough, but where Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn really takes off is in the added layers of depth and huge variety of features and customisation available. Players earn money for slaughtering the zombies (money might not bring you happiness, but it does buy you guns!). We live in a consumer society after all, which is useful, as you can spend big on over 25 different weapons (including chainsaw, katana, mini-gun, RPG, D.O.M. and many others!). You also need cash to open doors, activate jumps, buy new weapons, or hunt for the magic fridge and see what loot drops are inside! In short… the longer you survive, the more weapons and prizes you get.
Surviving longer also gains you ZKW-Points which you can cash in to totally customize your character, customize your weapons, buy new weapons, buy different perks, open new maps, and a lot lot more! Players also earn XP as they play, allowing them to level-up their character and develop them to fit their chosen gameplay skills. Survival is all about the margins, and every little extra helps!
The Steam release also features an exclusive level editor for the Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn community, which allows the community to create their own custom and bespoke maps, then share them with friends (and enemies) for everyone to enjoy. Endless permutations and maps means endless challenges.
With a compelling single player survival mode, as well as cooperative multiplayer for up-to four players, this is one zombie firefight you are not going to want to miss! If that wasn't enough you can even play cross-platform play with Android owners too!
