This game needs to have a streaming series companion. Seriously, set in Sweden, Swedish dialog, Swedish actors, period dress, small cast, the whole 9yds. Subtitled like some indie film at Cannes, because nothing screams the 80s like subtitled foreign films.
Expand the background, work on the lore. Let’s give normal people a fear of hearing a tank bellowing as it starts it’s attack run on you. The first time a Hunter jumps at the camera, pure pants-****ing moment.
The first season could be the main campaign, then the next, etc, until there’s lore being made that isn’t in the game (yet).

I don’t know why, but I was forced to think of Jurassic Park. The scene with T-Rex and the glass of water… Stomp, stomp, stomp, roaaar… Replace the trex with a tank and its sounds.
Then next the scene with the raptors in the kitchen… Replace them with runners. 
Or the scene with the Dilophosaurus in the woods during the heavy rain… When it’s watching from behind a tree. Replace it with a Lynx which then pulls out its chainsaw.
Man you could change almost the whole film to a GZ movie. The island is östertörn, the survivors are the players, replace the helicopter at the beginning with a boat, the theme is about a swedish military tech expo presenting the development of the machines and the ai fnix…

I want watch this series 1989 times, a series like this would get popular, and gen zero could become far more popular, which is what it deserves.
I agree. I also made a thread a month ago asking the same question. There is also a good Swedish film collective called “Crazy Pictures”. They are located in Norrköping. I mailed them with the idea of a TV mini series of the game but I think it disappeared in their spam folder. The developers would need to call or visit them if a series was really an option.
I think it would hit the nerve of our time since a lot of the 80s stuff is kind of having a revival time these days.
Crazy Pictures made a movie called The Unthinkable (Swedish: Den blomstertid nu kommer) in 2018. It has a similar apocalyptic setting like GZ
Still, this would be a great series. So many people would watch the series, and then play the game if they had not already
searching for tv shows, video games, movies, dlc that doesn’t exist on this earth, interesting results & findings on some of those earth’s, however, getting dvds to play from alternate universes, is completely different issue
