Zombicide Season Three Expansion Fundraiser Kicks Off
June 30, 2014 by brennon
The big new Zombicide Season Three Kickstarter from Guillotine Games launched over the weekend and it's already got to the level of insanity within a couple of days. They have already burst through their goal and are now over $500,000 at the time of writing. Let's see what sets make up the core of this new season...
In Rue Morgue you'll be fighting against Zombies in an infested hospital with new survivors, weapons and of course enemies to butcher like the Skinner Zombie and A-Bomb Abomination. This last zombie type has elongated arms for reaching out and dragging you back towards its slavering maw.
As well as that we also have Angry Neighbours which adds in the Seeker Zombie that will relentlessly pursue your poor survivor around the entire map if it has to! You'll be fighting in the crumbling remains of the city and have access to some of the nastiest weapons yet to grace games of Zombicide.
Everything quality wise looks great once again and while it's no doubt very popular is it maybe to the point now where zombies aren't the 'thing' anymore and we've moved on? I guess considering the amount of peoples who pledged maybe it's just me who thinks that then!
As you might expect by the total funding they've beaten a lot of their stretch goals as well so go and check those out via the Kickstarter page.
What do you think of more Zombicide?

As you say, half a million in half a day shows we’re not done with zombies yet lol. Zombicide is a very strong brand with a great KS pedigree. Even with all the anti-CMoN sentiment from those who have backed other KS from them, this was always going to be a smash hit. It’s a good game too. Rue Morgue is a standalone game so you can hop onto this without needing any of the previous three sets.
Agree – strong work from a strong brand. This game is brilliant and I think that you do get a lot of added value by pre-ordering (opps I mean backing!!!) this.
Can’t wait to play the team and pvp aspects of this as well. Competitive gameplay is good but I thinks its the co-op nature where this game stands tall.
Excellent game, thanks for the heads up, divorce proceedings to follow when my wife finds out 😉
Despite the popularity of this game I don’t think I will ever back another project from CMoN. Their communication was practically criminal for the previous game I backed by them. It is certainly worth more to avoid interacting with or supporting them than it is to get into one of the dozens of zombie-themed games on the market.
I hope existing fans of the game are well-served in this expansion campaign though. I never put any ill-will toward my fellow gamers.
I’m glad you guys posted this. I missed the first two. I have now become a backer.
Yeah same with me, this is a good chance to have a go at Zombicide. Though I also risk living out my later years alone and bitter when the credit card statement is seen.
