Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies – December Update Adds New characters & New Game Mode + More Weapons


Nexon Europe announced today that Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies will be receiving a slew of new content over the holiday season. Starting in December, players will be able to play as two new female characters, experience a fun new game mode, receive new weapons via giveaway events, and purchase in-game items at highly discounted prices.

Choijiyoon is the first of two new characters that soon will be deployed into the field. Once a member of a secretive counter-terrorist intelligence bureau, she was forced to flee the country when her cover was blown. Since then, she has formed her own elite task force with the sole intent of taking down the ARA – only this time she won’t be defeated.

Ritsuka, the second new character, is the ARA agent who exposed Choijiyoon as an undercover operative. Surrounded by domestic warfare from an early age, Ritsuka quickly gained extensive military experience as a young mercenary.

The December update also introduces a novel new mode to the game: Big Headed Zombie Scenario. This makes all zombies in the game appear with oversized heads. The scenario can be toggled on or off by the Room Host, and is only triggered when a specific item is used in a Zombie Scenario map.

Paul Lee, Product Manager at Nexon Europe, said:

“We are very glad to celebrate the holidays with the Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies community for the first time. New characters, giveaways, and a big weapon upgrade event means that Christmas truly has come early for Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies.”

In addition to the new playable characters and mode, there will also be myriad giveaways taking place over the month, in which players can get their hands on a range of weapons and upgrades:

-Weapon Upgrade Reward: 27th November – 30th December
Players who earn a predetermined amount of kill points with certain weapons will receive a permanent weapon upgrade.
