About Pandemic Express - Zombie Escape

✦ AI summary

Up to 20 players battle in a sprawling post-soviet ghost town where one randomly-infected player hunts the rest while they scavenge gear and fight their way to an escape train. A large-scale standalone take on the classic zombie mod formula, blending frantic co-op survival with open-world exploration and asymmetrical infected versus human gameplay.


Welcome to Pandemic Express - Zombie Escape! We've played a lot of Zombie Escape-style mods, and wanted to make something standalone, and on a large scale. Up to 20 players spawn in a large world. One of them gets randomly infected, and has to spread the infection turning everyone into zombies. The human players desperately try to escape on a train through an onslaught of what seems like endless zombie hordes.
  • First standalone ‘Zombie Mod’ on a massive scale
  • Unique co-op experience with ad-hoc teams, vehicles, a large open world, and a train
  • Distinctive art style & game atmosphere

Imagine CS zombie mod infused with the DNA of a large-scale open world shooter, set in a post-soviet ghost town. And trains. We like trains.

Pandemic Express - Zombie Escape, developed by TALLBOYS in collaboration with tinyBuild and published by tinyBuild, is built around a deceptively simple but highly volatile idea: drop a large group of players into a map, secretly infect one of them, and let panic and suspicion do the rest. What begins as a calm, almost cooperative scavenging phase quickly fractures into chaos as the infection spreads, transforming the match into a desperate race for survival where trust collapses and every encounter becomes a potential threat. The game’s premise alone gives it a strong identity, standing apart from more conventional shooters by leaning heavily into emergent player behavior rather than rigid structure. The early moments of each match are arguably the most effective, creating a tense atmosphere where players gather supplies, explore abandoned structures, and cautiously observe one another. There’s a quiet unease that builds naturally, as no one knows who will turn first. When the initial infection reveals itself, the pace shifts dramatically—what was once cautious exploration becomes a frantic scramble.
