Zombies is the cooperative game mode known for being included in the ShooterofIO series most famously developed by Air Studios. Other franchise developers SOI Studios and War Games have attempted at including the mode, however the mode is most positively recieved within Air Studios games due to their unique take on it.

Zombies first appeared in ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare (2009) and returned in ShooterofIO: WWII (2011) from War Games. SOI Studios only included the mode in their 2016 game ShooterofIO: Shadows. Air Studios included the mode in ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare II (2012), ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare III (2015), ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare 4 (2018), ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare 5 (2020), and the upcoming ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare 6 (2024).

The mode is known for its repetiitve fast-paced action that involves players starting with a pistol (or a loadout weapon at a low rarity) and becoming more powerful by surviving endless waves of the undead. As the match progresses, the enemies become stronger, whilst in some older games, weapons become weaker.

In Dark Warfare 5, Outbreak was released, which is a new objective-focused mode that had players spawning in with a weapon they chose at a low rarity and completing objectives and surviving as long as they can. In Outbreak, players didn't have a "round" system and instead a tally of how many objectives that they have completed.

ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare

The first iteration of Zombies appeared in the 2009 game ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare. In the game, players were introduced to all the basic mechanics in the mode such as rounds and zombie themed enemies.

Reception

The Zombies mode has recieved critical acclaim across the franchise and many sources say that Zombies peaked around the time of Dark Warfare III's release in 2015. This is because of the amount of maps that were added to the game during its life cycle and its gameplay being replayable in every aspect.
