While the David Fincher-directed
World War Z sequel has been canceled, Saber Interactive's take on the zombie franchise is still on track to release this year. In the game's latest trailer, the creators of
TimeShift and
Inversion give us a chance to take a closer look at the rules of the
Players vs Players vs Zombies gameplay that will challenge you to outlive both the living and the dead in five game modes.
World War Z will launch with the following multiplayer modes:
Scavenge Raid: Players race to secure resources across the map to win.
Vaccine Hunt: Players must pick up and hold an object to earn point for the team.
Team Swarm Deathmatch: Two teams go head to head in a bitter fight to the end.
Swarm Domination: Capture zones to earn points and win a team victory.
King of the Hill: Capture a single hill, then control it to earn victory points.
In this zombie game you will make tactical use of traps, barriers and the environment to slow down the hordes of the undead, then team up with friends to stay alive by unleashing a storm of firepower from all directions with a variety of heavy-hitting weapons and explosives. Focus Home Interactive will be in charge of the worldwide digital distribution of
World War Z on PS4 and Xbox One digital storefronts.
Powered by Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine, World War Z unleashes hundreds of fast-moving, bloodthirsty zombies at a time on players in a nail-biting action experience around the world, including New York, Moscow, Jerusalem and more. Play in co-op with up to 3 friends using six distinct classes and an arsenal of deadly weapons, explosives, turrets and traps to demolish the undead menace and survive another day.
World War Z is expected to launch in 2019 on PS4, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games store.
