TGIF! Zombie Slayer Updates for April 17, 2026

Happy Friday, players!

A quick reminder of some of the video work we do regularly. Every Friday we host the Discord Stream, once a month we run the big Livestream and sometimes on Fridays you can join Mingo for a Let’s Play series where he dives in the games to play with the community while streaming and chatting. All the details, reminders and links you’ll need can be found in the weekly TGIF, so stay tuned and now let’s jump into the news of the week!

In-Game Updates:

Slayers, we've introduced an all NEW Prestige tier to the city of Tokyo! If you've completed Bronze through Gold Prestige already, you can NOW take it one tier further with Platinum! Eligible Slayers can revisit this bustling city to complete higher Tier Outbreaks earning bonus XP, Cash, Skill Points, & Prestige Coins & more. Read more about Prestige Locations here: https://support.kanoplay.com/hc/en/7-zombie-slayer/faq/699-prestige-locations/?p=all

The Faction Wars event begins today! Zombie Slayer players can dive in starting at 10AM (PT). Rally your team and make sure you’re all enrolled before it kicks off. Battle hard for the best rewards and good luck!

Next week join us for an Admin Blitz event! If you're around on the following date, make sure to drop by & nab some sweet Coin off of the Kano folk. Watch out for the group chats that get posted beforehand and remember to bump up those Admins Killed and Listed stats.

Admin Blitz events will now also have a special Kano item giveaway, so don’t miss out! We hope to see you there on:

Tuesday, April 21st - Server 1, Server 2, and the Kongregate & Armor Servers @ 3PM (PT).

Get ready for the weekday Calendar Challenge! Starting this Monday April 20th @ 10AM PT, you can take on the Earth Day Calendar. Complete the challenge to earn the bonus item!

Next week starting on Monday April 20th is Blitz Week! All week long there will be an increased number of Blitz events running, including a mixture of the new special modes. Keep an eye out for targets and rack up those kills!

Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!

We recently released a new method for players to acquire UN Credits through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra UN Credits for their account! You can access it from the Godfather page and our FAQ post here has all the details you’ll need - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/7-zombie-slayer/faq/789-what-is-rev-u-and-how-does-it-work/

25 FP bonus for signing up

Switch between devices or logging onto other Kano hosted sites
Specials offers on Kanoplay
