Players fight waves of zombies, manage funds, upgrade weapons and buy temporary perks, with no final wave and survival time as the goal. The mod supports co-op for up to 8 players and is scheduled for release on Steam in 2027, with custom maps and skins through the Steam Workshop.","whyItMatters":"A wave-survival total conversion for Team Fortress 2 with no final wave turns the game's team shooting into a personal endurance record, and Breadworks plans to ship it on Steam in 2027 with Workshop support and existing cosmetic items carrying over.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe trailer shows the upgrade loop: funds go into weapons modeled on real-world armaments, and temporary perks boost combat efficiency for a run.

Survival time is the goal, so the Team Fortress 2 mod lives or dies on pacing, not a boss.","threadsPost":"Mann Versus Zombies removes the ending: no final wave, survival time is the score. That choice carries the whole Team Fortress 2 mod, because without a finish line the waves have to escalate on their own, and the 8-player co-op has to stay tense past the point most horde modes would roll credits.","newsletterBlurb":"Breadworks released a gameplay trailer for Mann Versus Zombies, a total conversion mod for Team Fortress 2 that pits up to 8 co-op players against zombie waves with upgradeable weapons and purchasable perks. There is no final wave; runs end when the players do, and the aim is a longer survival record. It is scheduled for Steam in 2027, with Steam Workshop support for custom maps and skins.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Game Spark\",\"url\":\"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/11/02/174390.html\",\"title\":\"『Team Fortress 2』Co-op Zombie Survival Mod \\\"Mann Versus Zombies\\\" Gameplay Trailer!\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":5592,"outputTokens":713,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1793610845,"createdAt":"2026-11-02T09:08:30.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-11-02T09:13:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-02T09:13:00.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_a7ba3790dd70649a11e8c8ed","canonicalTitle":"『Team Fortress 2』Co-opゾンビサバイバルMod「Mann Versus Zombies」ゲームプレイトレイラー！","representativeArticleId":"a_1f284bcf8727aa4083b6894b","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Team Fortress 2\",\"Mann Versus Zombies\"],\"studios\":[\"Valve\"],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-11-02T08:30:03.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-11-02T08:30:03.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-02T09:12:59.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Game Spark","url":"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/11/02/174390.html","title":"『Team Fortress 2』Co-opゾンビサバイバルMod「Mann Versus Zombies」ゲームプレイトレイラー！"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Team Fortress 2","Mann Versus Zombies"],"studios":["Valve"],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":["Breadworks released a gameplay trailer for Mann Versus Zombies, a total conversion mod for Team Fortress 2.","Mann Versus Zombies supports co-op play for up to 8 players.","The mod has no final wave, and players aim to survive as long as possible for a new record.","Mann Versus Zombies is scheduled for release on Steam in 2027.","Custom maps and skins are supported through the Steam Workshop, and existing Team Fortress 2 cosmetic items can reportedly be used as-is."],"pageLinks":{"healthSlugs":["team-fortress-2","mann-versus-zombies","valve"],"storySlugs":[],"entities":[{"slug":"team-fortress-2","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":0,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false},{"slug":"mann-versus-zombies","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":2,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false},{"slug":"valve","supported":2,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":33,"overall":"green","story_count":44,"has_dossier":true}],"stories":[],"entitiesOk":true,"storiesOk":true}}
