Rockstar Games recently launched a new Halloween-themed mode in GTA Online called "Ludendorff Cemetery Survival", and it's already setting records. The limited-time event debuted a few days ago, drawing many players back to the game.
According to GTAO Stats, Ludendorff Cemetery Survival has accumulated 2.7 million total plays, with over 1.2 million unique players joining the action. These impressive figures demonstrate the enduring appeal of GTA Online, even after more than a decade since its original release.
In Ludendorff Cemetery Survival, players take on waves of zombies in a spooky cemetery, reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare. Armed with various weapons, players must battle through the undead hordes, blending intense action with Halloween chills. The combination is resonating with the community, attracting both long-time fans and newcomers.
This success helps explain why Rockstar is in no rush to release GTA6. Continued support for GTA5 keeps the player base active, allowing the developers to focus on perfecting the next installment.
GTA5 remains the second best-selling game in history, with over 200 million copies sold, trailing only Minecraft. The game has also generated an impressive $8.6 billion in revenue, highlighting its lasting popularity. With events like this drawing millions of players, it's clear that GTA Online is far from fading away.
Looking ahead, with GTA6 expected to launch in Fall 2025, the ongoing success of GTA Online underscores its significance for Rockstar. It's likely that GTA Online will either transition to the new game or evolve into a revamped version, though nothing has been confirmed. Given Rockstar's track record, whatever they choose will likely keep players engaged for years to come.
