An open beta will be launched for Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies later this month on Steam.

Set for release during Q3 2014, the free-to-play game is the western version of Korea’s Counter-Strike Online 2. Upon release it will be available in Europe, North America, Oceania, and the CIS region.

Valve and Nexon teamed up for the zombie-themed title and it conatains original Counter-Strike modes such as Hostage Rescue and Bomb Diffusion. Other modes include Shelter Mode, various Zombie Scenarios, Bazooka Mode, Beast Mode, and Football Mode.

No idea what that mode encompasses. We can only imagine.

The open beta goes live on Steam September 23.
