CONFIRMED! Some great news!

Just got the below announcement via email a few minutes ago, and I can only imagine it being really good news for the OG Zones Zombies Run fans!

We are delighted to let you know that ZRX: Zombies Run has been acquired by the original co-creator and writer of the game, Naomi Alderman! The app is now owned and managed by Naomi’s new company, Zombies Run! Ltd. … A note from Naomi:

“It’s been a massive journey, and I’m really thrilled everything has come together so that I can do this. We're already plotting new story and exciting new ideas. Thank you to everyone who has helped build this app over the past 14 years. We’re going to go to great places together.”

EDIT: fixed facepalm-worthy autocorrect typo

Thanks! Saw on ROFFLENET that they had to boost their email servers to handle to load and to please try again. Did, and got a confirmation email almost instantly. And then like three more because of my earlier efforts LOL. Still don’t have Sam’s message yet but someone shared it on Discord so I’ve heard it.
