Following an ad that appeared on Rock Star Social Club from Eugenics Inc., RockStar Games sent out the following press release (we added the video at the bottom) to announce that there is a virus sweeping through Liberty City that turns players into zombies. There have been rumors that the first DLC for GTA IV will feature a zombie outbreak and this zombie infection gameplay mechanic adds more fuel to the fire:
!!!!!!!!!!!!NEW VIRAL INFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Attention Citizens,
There is a virus sweeping through Grand Theft Auto IV turning many unsuspecting players into Zombies. If you've seen the special Zombie-with-yellow-briefs player skin running around during Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, then you may already know that the virus can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection (BE ADVISED: The infected DON'T necessarily have to be wearing the Zombie skin, some show NO SYMPTOMS!). The signs of infection are:
Access to the zombie skin
having the Achievement "Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie".
With the all-new Viral Infection feature at the Rockstar Social Club, members can now see whether they are currently infected, the number of total global infections and the number of infectinos in the last 24 hours. Digging deeper, Social Club members can also browse a color-coded world map tracking the spread of the infection worldwide, including breakdown for all 50 US States.
