Leak suggests GTA 5 Online Zombies could return but in a new game mode

GTA 5 Online Zombies made their debut last year as part of the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC. They were part of the limited-time Ludendorff Cemetery Survival game mode, where players had to fight small hordes of Zombies in a round-based format. The recent Money Fronts DLC files leak suggests that these undead creatures will likely return in the game later this year, but in a new game mode.

According to dataminer @Lucas7yoshi_RS (who regularly tries to find upcoming content in Rockstar games), the Money Fronts DLC files have hidden data for Cayo Perico Survival, a new game mode supposedly featuring the GTA 5 Online Zombies. Read on to learn more about the latest leak.

Note: The information in this article is based on leaks and should be taken with a grain of salt.

GTA 5 Online Zombies are expected to return but on Cayo Perico Island

As can be seen in the post embedded above, @Lucas7yoshi_RS has shared a clip of the supposed Cayo Perico Survival mode featuring GTA 5 Online Zombies that gamers can expect in the near future. As per their video, here’s what the game experience will likely be:

• Players will likely start in the compound with the usual Zombies.
• After clearing the Zombies, players will likely need to go to the next area via a vehicle, and will be teleported directly to the area if they fail to do so.
• There will likely be minor cutscenes (or stage transition animations) between each round.
• Gamers will then likely have to fight more Zombies here.

Moreover, the dataminer shared that we might see the following new GTA 5 Online Zombies in the potentially upcoming Cayo Perico Survival mode:

• The Conquistador (immune to bullets and explosives)
• The Splitter (splitting ability)
• New undead Mage model (Unchanged)
• The Undead DJ (Dancing will give an award)
• Undead Panther Trainer (Panther spawning ability)

Fans are advised to take this leak with a grain of salt, as Rockstar can always change certain aspects of a game mode before its release. However, it’s nice to know that a proper survival mode might return as part of the Money Fronts DLC.

The new GTA 5 Online Zombies mode might be available near or during the week of Halloween 2025.
