Some big news from PUBG Mobile this week as the developers have added a new Infection mode that will have you fleeing from zombies while surviving. The new zombie mode is the latest addition to the recent update, along with all new Royale Pass themes and more. The mode plays off the Resident Evil 2 crossover event they had earlier this year, where you will face off against hordes of monsters to survive until dawn. In this mode, for the first time ever, players can now drop into an all-new asymmetric player vs. player zombie infection mode where they are divided into Zombies or Defenders.

What this means is while Defenders are equipped with firearms, Zombies can only use melee weapons and special abilities with cooldowns to take down and infect Defenders. But if all Defenders are infected, the Zombies win! So every moment of the game will have you on your toes trying to figure out how to stay alive. Meanwhile, we have the details to the Royale Pass additions for you here. Best of luck to those of you looking to survive, and if you want in the action, you can download the game from the App Store and Google Play.
