The Holiday Horde is now INCLUDED in the Mini Expansion.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot about the mini expansion…
And honestly, this was too good to lock behind stretch goals.
So I made a big decision:
🧟 The Holiday Horde is now INCLUDED in the Mini Expansion.
That means:
- Characters people were waiting to unlock..
- Characters you told me you loved..
- Characters I didn’t want to hold back..
…are now part of the expansion.
No waiting. No “maybe we hit it.”
Just more content.
👇 Here’s what’s now included:
What’s in the Mini Expansion now?
- The Misfits (our chaotic originals)
- The Holiday Horde characters
- Backer-created characters from the Immortality tier
20 unique characters total
More variety, more personality, more replayability.
🎄 What about Santa?
Santa stays in the main game, already unlocked and ready to go.
To keep the mini expansion at 20 characters, he’s been replaced with a brand new Elf character, adding even more variety to the lineup.
Why I made this change
Because this shouldn’t feel like content you missed.
It should feel like something you’re excited to play with.
And honestly… I just wanted this in the game.
⏳ 6 Days Left
After that:
❌ Kickstarter pricing is gone
❌ Exclusives are gone
I may still have a couple surprises planned.
Thank you all again, this project keeps getting better because of you.

We’re Lowering Shipping Costs 🚚

Hey everyone!
We wanted to share a quick update on shipping.
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to find ways to reduce shipping costs without sacrificing quality, and we’re excited to say we’ve made some solid improvements.
After reviewing packaging and fulfillment options, we’ve been able to optimize box size and shipping methods, which allows us to pass those savings directly to you.
What does this mean?
For example, in the Core Edition (USA):
- Previous estimate: $17–$21
- New estimate: $8–$12
That’s nearly 50% lower.
We’re currently updating shipping estimates across all regions and tiers to reflect these improvements. You’ll see an updated chart on the campaign page shortly.
⚠️ A quick note
These are still estimates, but we’re committed to:
- Keeping shipping as low as possible
- Avoiding surprise costs
- Delivering a high-quality product
We know shipping costs can make a big difference when deciding to back a project, and we truly appreciate your support as we continue improving every part of the campaign.
More updates soon, and thank you for being part of Zombie Overlord 🧟♂️
