GTA IV almost had a full zombie survival mode — and the files are still hiding in your game.

Buried in GTA IV's files is a scrapped game mode called "Angry & Hungry: Z Resurrection," complete with zombie textures, scratch wound marks, AK-47 and Uzi weapon assets, and even dedicated zombie audio files labeled M_ZOMBIE. The discovery was made by data miners who found a file named zombie.wtd containing a full logo and all related assets, suggesting Rockstar had developed a zombie apocalypse mode that never saw release.
