More Zombies?

It's been over a year since Nemesis came out, has anyone heard from the devs if they can start adding more zombies on the maps yet? I remember people asking about it and the devs stating the game in its current state couldn't handle more zombies yet, so I wanted to check in and see if there's been any news on that.

    It's probably not going to happen any time soon. I imagine there is quite a big line in front of Nemesis when it comes to reworks.

    Devs said in the past they can't add any more than 2 because it would cause processing issues or something. Simply put: technical limitations. Probably because of older consoles or PCs.

    The zombies are the most frustrating part of nemesis. I hate being pushed off a gen Im doing alone because sandra wants to gnaw on my kneecaps.

    Yeah I was hoping there was word on if that might have changed yet

    The story goes like this:

    While developing Nemmy one of his Iri add-ons did indeed spawn in another zom zom. It tanked game performance so badly they scrapped the idea and changed the add-on.

    Now assuming they develop using very bad-ass PC's, I could only imagine what it would do to lower end PC's and the consoles.

    Prolly would just melt a Switch, and My Xbox1 is crying just thinking about it.

    They could add more zombies, ain’t no limitations stopping them at all. That’s just a excuse and a easy answer for no it ain’t happening.

    They do need fixing though that’s for sure. As a nemesis main his zombies are either on point a few times them brain dead and useless most of the time.

    But those moments when some one is standing on the other side of a loop teabagging or clicking the flashlight then a zombies smacks then is too funny 😂

    No please, Nemesis zombies is the worst aspect of its power.

    i love how nemmy plays currently, i think they should balance the entire game around the sort of power level he is currently at. the zombies can be pretty annoying to the survivors even in their current state, especially with some of the speed addons, the only issue is when their pathing breaks.

    Sure, once they agree to stop facecamping.

    Because more zombies are not going to happen, i would love that Antonio and Mari Carmen (how i call the sombis) were way less bugged and dont get stuck everywhere.

    Hope Nemi still have a chance for a small rework for zombies and addons.

    I would love a brown/yellow one that "Make survivors scream when whipped" so zombies around can hear that scream.

    They could have any killed survivors come back as ai zombies.


    If it's a performance issue, then just optimize the game. I haven't any issues since switching to PS5, but my PS4 used to sound like a plane engine.

    This would be a cool Iri addon, you kill a Feng Ming, and that same Feng Ming zombified with the same skin appears.

    Beside optimizing and adding another zombie they could also add two more addons :

    Zombies are replaced with a pair of faster zombie dogs that do not injure but cause mangled and try to hold survivors in place unless shaken off .

    Zombies are replaced by 1 Mr X. He is slow but always knows where survivors are and instadowns them on hit.

    Apparently the engine, or more precise the processing and computing, can't handle any more Zombies. In the beginning before optimization even two zombies brought certain consoles to their utter limits so we won't be seeing a veritable, even though it would be pretty cool if we could start the trial with like 8 or 10 Zombies and kill them via palettes and only the two special one respawn.

    It won't be happening :< So here is something to cheer you up.

    Facecamping zombies aren't a common thing at all. They were at the PTB, you rarely ever see something remotely close to that today.
