400,000 People Flood GTA 5 Starting Area For New Event in GTA Online
A brand new event has started in GTA Online, where players will be able to fight off zombies in a new Left 4 Dead-style event. This leads players to the starting area of GTA 5, and players will now get to experience the Ludendorff Cemetary Survival Mode, which was released on October 10. Since then, 400,000 people have eagerly logged into the game to play the new game mode, where players got to return to North Yankton. For many, this will be quite nostalgic, as this is where all the initial action of the story takes place, and players get to play as Trevor and Michael as they pull off a bank heist.

With these numbers being so high, it's now remarked that player numbers for this event are 270% higher compared to GTA Online's last massive-scale event, Assault on ATT-16.
