RIP Urban Dead: A Zombie Apocalypse Browser Game Closes After Nearly Two Decades

2025-03-16

Urban Dead, a free-to-play, massively multiplayer online browser game depicting a zombie apocalypse in the quarantined city of Malton, has shut down after nearly 20 years. Launched in July 2005, the game saw over 1.7 million players battling zombies, rebuilding society amidst the ruins, and facing off against military and scientific factions. Its closure, due to upcoming UK website legislation changes, marks the end of an era for this unique and long-running browser-based experience.
