Saber Interactive today has released the new gameplay overview trailer for the upcoming third-person shooter, World War Z: Aftermath, the sequel to their previously successful title. Inspired by the film World War Z by Paramount, this game will pit players against the rampaging hoard of zombies alongside their teammates. Go it alone with AI buddies OR squad up with three friends on cross-platform gameplay.
Key Features:
- New Battles from a World at War: Fend for your life and make a stand against the swarm in two thrilling new story episodes — take back Vatican City in an epic confrontation in Rome, and join forces with survivors in Russia’s snowbound Kamchatka region.
- New Ways to Fight: Decimate the undead with a brutal new melee system featuring two-handed and dual-wield weapons like the sickle, cleaver, fire axe, and sledgehammer, and experience the heart-pounding immersion of Aftermath’s optional first-person mode.
- Deep Hero Progression: Level up eight unique classes, each with its own perks, including the new Vanguard class, armed with an electrified shield that can plow through the horde with devastating efficiency. Customize your weapons and conquer new daily missions with special modifiers for bonus rewards.
- The Next Generation of Zombie Action: Play in glorious 4K|60 FPS on next-gen systems. Endure hundreds of more zombies on screen than ever before possible in the new Horde Mode XL, coming exclusively to PC, PlayStation5, and Xbox Series X|S in a free post-launch update.
- The Complete World War Z Experience: all content from World War Z: Game of the Year Edition, including full episodes in New York, Moscow, Marseille, Jerusalem, and Tokyo – altogether 23 total PVE maps across 7 massive episodes, an amazing wealth of content.
- Play With Friends Anywhere: the game supports up to four-player co-op with full cross-play between consoles and PC, including Steam and the Epic Games Store. Or play solo with AI teammates so that you don’t have to rely on friends or strangers to continue the story.
World War Z: Aftermath will launch this fall on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store and Steam, with backwards compatibility on PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X|S at 4K|60 FPS. In 2022, World War Z: Aftermath will officially launch on PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X|S with a free next-generation upgrade and additional enhancements, including the new Horde Mode XL.
