It’s spooky season, and Rockstar’s added a new event to its eternally popular GTA Online mode. The game takes you back to the snowy peaks of North Yankton, where the familiar backdrop of the Ludendorff Cemetery has been transformed into a battleground against the undead.

On 10th October, Rockstar launched a new survival mode and a community challenge that took us back to North Yankton to collectively slay 80 million zombies in order to unlock "special gifts", including a spooky-season appropriate Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and the Red Hooded Skull Mask.

North Yankton plus zombies seems to have been a big enough deal for a whopping 400,000 GTA Online players to quickly jump into the mode within its first 24 hours, according to GTAO Stats. That number has rocketed passed the one million marks over the last few days, too.

Pretty much every major live service game will do something for Halloween. Call of Duty has The Haunting, Apex has Trick N' Treat Trios, and Fortnite has Fortnitemares. In previous years, GTA Online would also give players "four weeks of nonstop mischief" during October,

Grand Theft Auto V’s starting location (snowy North Yankton) is finally being added to GTA Online as part of an upcoming, limited-time zombie survival mode that is arriving in the game next week.

GTA Online's newly added Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode is seeing astounding player numbers, according to some recent data.

It’s arguable that GTA Online’s Halloween event is proving somewhat popular. The zombie-slaughtering North Yankton Nightmare, added to the game along with GTA V’s opening location, Ludendorff, has been so popular Rockstar had to increase the community challenge goals ten-fold.
