Zombies are obviously the central peril, but the Undawn website hints at some deeper weirdness. After watching ten minutes of that video, though, I have very strong doubts that it's going to redefine much of anything. Descriptively, it sounds a bit like Fallout 76 meets Overkill’s The Walking Dead, which isn’t the worst idea for a videogame I’ve ever run across.
A recently-posted Dawn Awakening gameplay video indicates that it's a straightforward third-person shooter that shifts into first-person when looking down the sights, but my lack of fluency prevents me from picking up further details. It's also really not clear what sort of 'amazing experience' Undawn actually is.
It’s not yet decided whether the addition of PC means that crossplay and/or cross saves are also in the works: Tencent said that crossplay “is something the development team wants to include, but is still under development.”
Anyway, they are in fact the same, as Tencent confirmed in an email that Undawn is the “official name” for the previously mobile-exclusive Dawn Awakening.
