As for what a Revenant is, here’s NetEase’s explanation:

A Revenant has both the sanity of Human and some of the mutant power of the Zombies but turning into one means abandoning the Human identity and appearance, and living as a half-human half-zombie. Although endowed with the more powerful mutant abilities, the Zombie power within is still trying to take over. Is Revenant a cure or a just a new disease to the Doomsday world?

As a marker of a Revenant’s strength, the mysterious Flower of Revenant is where the Revenant draws its power from. This special blue flower will endow Revenant with some of Zombie’s power, thus greatly increasing its combat ability.

Although humanity remains in Revenant and they’re determined to wipe out Zombies, they need to constantly trying to contain the Zombie power within them and not be consumed by it and become a Zombie.

New Server, More Rewards

Players will be able to register to join the new server too, starting today. Sign-ups can be done via the special LifeAfter The Revenant website, where you’ll be able to unlock special in-game rewards if the game hits registration goals. At the time of writing the website hasn’t launched yet.
