Planned features: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:25, 22 April 2024

This is a future feature.

This article is about an item or mechanic that is currently unimplemented and planned for a future version.

It has either been previewed or found in the game files and does not exist yet.

This article is about Project Zomboid's planned features. For features that are confirmed and in development, see Upcoming versions.

This is the place to find all potential future features that the developers have spoken publicly about adding to Project Zomboid. To see a list of what has been added to the game, please check the version history page.

Note: massive credit goes to Darkcenturi for starting this list off with a massive amount of forum detective work! Some of the reference links may be broken since the forum moved mid-2013. The source post of such links has been recovered and can be found here.
