The Indie Stone has officially released its long-awaited major update for Project Zomboid. Named “Build 42”, the update expands and refreshes Knox Country with new places to explore, deeper long-term survival systems, and plenty of new ways to tell the story of how you died.
“Build 42 has been a huge undertaking for the team, and we are all incredibly grateful to the community for sticking with us: testing, surviving, dying, and then doing it all again, while providing valuable feedback all along the way,” said Christian Allen, Design Director at The Indie Stone.
