Greetings, it's been a while! Do not worry, Reborn a Zombie is not dead, quite the contrary!Reborn a Zombie 1's update status: CancelledWait, there was an update planned?Indeed! The goal was to implement the French version as well as add controller support. You said it was for early 2025My personal environment changed rapidly afterward, and I couldn't gather the people necessary to finish the update. The update is stuck at 90% completion. Once it's finished, I'll make sure to let you know, but as it stands, I can't promise any date. Sorry about that :( Update: The game's update cannot be pushed. This is time to be transparent. I am still inexperienced, the update has been dragging for very long and I made mistakes that ensure the game would be in an actual worse state than what it is today. This is a technical cul-de-sac that I put myself in I hadn't realize at the time I cannot accept…

A lot has changed in my life in 2024, but I’m happy to say things have been improving. Now, let’s dive into the news: Reborn a Zombie: Major Update When? First half of 2025 What’s new? The game will be playable in French. Added game controller support. A post-credits teaser that will tie into Reborn a Zombie 2.

Reborn a Zombie 2 is also expected to receive a French translation. Reborn a Zombie 2: Entwined Hearts is Progressing, but There’s Still Much to Do When? Tentatively 2026 Why the delay? Depression.

Do you plan to release the game in other languages? I would not be opposed to it, but due to the way the game works, adapting the game is far more involved than simply modifying the…
