This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241127572200/en/
Set in Hongdae, a landmark district in Seoul, ZOMVIRUS is a PvE VR shooting game that has emerged as a dark horse in the domestic gaming scene. Since its demo debut at the ‘2024 PlayX4’ exhibition in May, the game has garnered significant interest from players both in Korea and abroad.
In ZOMVIRUS, players fight for survival in a zombie-infested Hongdae, battling their way to safety while scavenging supplies and wielding weapons.
ZOMVIRUS offers a unique, VR-driven zombie experience. Unlike 2D games, it demands physical interaction, from wielding weapons to scavenging for food, heightening both tension and excitement.
Drawing inspiration from popular K-dramas like ‘Kingdom’ and ‘All of Us Are Dead,’ the game's K-zombies deliver heart-pounding thrills. These creatures, guided by sight and sound, react swiftly to noise, creating intense and immersive gameplay. Players can further immerse themselves in this uniquely Korean experience by wielding iconic K-weapons such as the K2 and K5.
To celebrate the launch, ZOMVIRUS is hosting an SNS review event until December 10 th. Join by purchasing ZOMVIRUS through the ‘VR Maniac’ banner or the official SNS link, writing a Steam review, and sharing it with the organizer. Winners receive Steam gift cards, and DMONG has more celebrations planned.
"ZOMVIRUS aims to spark a global K-zombie gaming phenomenon," said Lee Ji-baek, CEO of DMONG. "With stunning visuals and immersive gameplay, we're confident it will captivate audiences worldwide. Future updates will introduce bug fixes, optimizations, new scenarios, multiplayer, and additional quarantine cities like Manhattan and Shanghai."

DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — Sri Lanka reduced South Africa to 80-4 in 20.4 overs before rain washed out the rest of the first day of the first cricket test at Kingsmead on Wednesday.
The Sri Lankans, who have not lost three previous tests in Durban, won a crucial toss and opted to bowl in overcast conditions with a pace-heavy attack.
Fast bowlers Asitha Fernando and Vishwa Fernando, no relation, removed the openers by the fourth over.
Lahiru Kumara got the other two wickets and could have had captain Temba Bavuma on 20, but Kumara was no-balled for overstepping.
Bavuma rode his luck to 28 and Kyle Verreynne was on 9 — they were a combined 26 off 21 balls — when stumps were called after a 3 1/2-hour wait.
Aiden Markram, who has one century and one half-century in five previous tests this year, hit a couple of boundaries through cover and point in the first over but then edged Asitha Fernando to first slip on 9.
Two balls later, fellow opener Tony de Zorzi gave a thick edge off Vishwa Fernando to second slip and South Africa was 14-2 in the fourth over.
Tristan Stubbs was joined by Bavuma, who was dropped on 1 off Vishwa Fernando by Dimuth Karunaratne at second slip.
With the sun out, Lahiru Kumara's first over went for 17 runs, including a couple of Stubbs boundaries, but he claimed Stubbs on 16 in his second over and Karunaratne made amends with the catch at third slip.
When Kumara bowled David Bedingham at 54-4 in the 18th over, Kyle Verreynne came in.
Verreynne and Bavuma plunded 17 runs off another over by Kumara, who should have made Bavuma his third wicket for a catch behind, but he was no-balled.
