OH MY ****ING GOD

Hmm...here I was thinking that the DLC would be mission packs or other things to add onto the storyline, but maybe not at all. They could be (or at least this one) just "fun pack" downloads to mess about with.

 

[FoxDie]

Didn't see that coming.

 

[Lucid]

Cool how they're doing a sort of festive addition.

Grand Theft Auto + Zombies = Better than having sex with a 14 year old virgin!

Update: "It most definitely is a zombie outbreak, but it's a multiplayer tweak and not the enigmatic DLC. Rockstar confirms."

Today's earlier rumor about a viral outbreak in Grand Theft Auto IV has borne fruit – icky, decaying, zombie fruit. It turns out that the zombie apocalypse has come to Liberty City, but not in the form of DLC. It's a tweak that's been made to the game's multiplayer modes just in time for Halloween.

According to a news update on the Rockstar Social Club site, a virus introduced into the game world turns players into zombies (or at least bestows them with the zombie skin) and "can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection." The post also mentions that signs of infection include gaining access to the zombie skin in multiplayer or earning the "Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie" Achievement (on 360).

The Social Club site has been updated with a new community feature that lets registered users check to see if they've been "infected," as well as access US and world maps displaying the spread of the "disease." We've contacted Rockstar on the off chance they're willing to spill some details on how long we'll be riding out this outbreak.

This is NOT the DLC!!!

This is just a fun little thing that Rockstar is doing for halloween. The zombies have been in the game since launch and I believe you had to kill a Rockstar developer to get access to it.

DLC is still supposedly coming out spring 2009.

That's pretty ****ing sweet.

I heard that it works if you kill anyone who has the skin anyway. So killing someone who killed someone who killed someone who killed someone who killed an employee works too. Not sure of that at all though.

On the otherhand, they had better ****ing release a zombie apocolypse DLC and then release it in PC. If they do I'd buy the PC version instantly (I have the PS3 one).
