The two don’t explain the reason for the early release of the game, but it is obviously because they can. The fact that the game will now presumably only be polished for the next two months suggests that the game is ahead of schedule and should be thoroughly polished by the time it is released, though it’s possible the team, or at least a portion of it, could be moved to a new project or potential DLC.
According to the story synopsis, a deadly virus is sweeping through Los Angeles, California, turning its residents into ravenous zombies. “The military has retreated, and the city is under quarantine. You learn to control the zombie within despite being bit, infected, and more than just immune. Only you and a small group of arrogant men who also happen to be immune to the disease can save humanity and Los Angeles from certain extinction. You’ll learn who—or what—you are as you learn the truth about the outbreak. Just another day in Los Angeles: “Survive, change, and save the world!”
