Mech Assemble: Zombie Swarm “Eternal Night” Guide: Meet the Wukong Mech!

Commanders, get ready to re-arm and recalibrate! A massive new update has just dropped for Mech Assemble: Zombie Swarm, and it’s plunging the world into darkness. The new October season, “Eternal Night Descends,” is officially live, bringing new ways to play, new horrors to fight, and a legendary new mech to pilot.

This update introduces a brand-new “multi-mech” combat system, deadlier zombie hordes, and the highly-anticipated debut of the “Wukong” mech.

This guide will break down all the new features and give you the best strategies to survive the Eternal Night.

New Mech Debut: “Wukong” (The Monkey King)

The star of this update is the brand-new mech, Wukong. Based on the legendary Monkey King, this mech is an agility-based brawler that introduces a completely new “hit-and-run” playstyle.

While full stats are being uncovered, here is what we know about its “Eternal Night” kit:

Primary Weapon (Likely): A Jingu Staff-style extendable-pole weapon. Expect it to have a long melee reach and powerful-slam attacks that can clear groups of zombies.
Core Ability (Likely): “Clones.” Wukong will likely have an ability to create digital duplicates of itself. These clones will taunt and distract the zombie swarm, taking pressure off you and allowing you to focus on high-priority targets.
Movement Ability (Likely): “Nimbus Cloud.” Expect a fast, cloud-based dash ability that lets Wukong zip in and out of combat, making it one of the most mobile mechs in the game.

Strategy: Wukong is not a frontline tank. Use its speed to dash into a crowd, drop your clones to cause chaos, and then dash out, letting your abilities and staff do the work. It will be a high-skill, high-reward mech perfect for players who love a fast-paced-agile-playstyle.

New Season: How “Eternal Night Descends” Changes the Fight

This isn’t just a new mech—the entire game is evolving. Here are the two biggest changes in the October season:

1. New Mode: Pilot Multiple Mechs

You are no longer tied to just one machine. The “Eternal Night” season introduces a new system where Commanders can pilot multiple mechs in a single battle!

This adds a massive layer of strategy. You can now build a “hangar” for each mission.

Strategic Loadout: Start the battle with a long-range artillery mech to thin out the initial swarm.
Swap Mid-Battle: When a boss or a heavy-horde-breaks through, swap to a close-quarters tank mech to hold the line.
Specialist: Finally, swap to your new Wukong mech to quickly dash across the map and complete objectives or assassinate high-value “Alpha” zombies.

This new system means your entire collection of mechs is now more valuable than ever.

2. New Enemies: The Eternal Night Zombie Swarm

The zombies have evolved. The new season brings new, terrifying zombie types that are empowered by the darkness. While you’re battling, be on the lookout for:

Shadow Zombies: (Likely) Stealth units that can bypass your frontline.
Nocturnal Brutes: (Likely) Heavy-hitting tanks that are stronger in the new “darkness” zones on the map.

This update is a game-changer. It’s time to build your mech hangar, master the Wukong, and fight back the darkness. Log in and join the fight in Mech Assemble: Zombie Swarm!

How do I get the new Wukong mech?

The Wukong mech is the headline reward for the new Eternal Night Descends season. You can unlock it by progressing through the new October Season Pass or by completing specific challenges in the seasonal event.

What is the Eternal Night Descends event?

This is the new, month-long October season for Mech Assemble: Zombie Swarm. It includes a new Season Pass, new multi-mech gameplay, new zombie types, and the Wukong mech.

How does the pilot multiple mechs feature work?

This is a new seasonal game mode. Before starting a mission, you will select a squad of mechs (e.g., 3 mechs). During the battle, you can use a new in-game button to swap or call in your other mechs, each with their own health and cooldowns.

Is the Wukong mech a good mech?

From its abilities, Wukong looks like it will be a new top-tier Agility mech. Its ability to create clones and dash makes it an excellent choice for distracting enemies and surviving difficult horde waves, which is crucial for late-game content.
