On July 29th we received some pretty big news surrounding Saber Interactive’s World War Z: Aftermath. We got a closer look at what evolution the game’s made which includes new story episodes, a better melee system, new modes, some 4K|60 FPS gameplay, and some more tasty treats. While the video is age-restricted, feel free to jump onto this link to check it out!

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 their 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, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in a free post-launch update.

• The Complete World War Z Experience: Aftermath includes 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: Aftermath 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.

This trailer and all of its information have me extremely excited to get into World War Z again. This is the perfect time to dive into this IP whether you’re a new player or a veteran. There’s so much going for this game and I hope that it lives up to the hype.

World War Z: Aftermath launches this fall on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store and Steam (backwards compatibility on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at 4K|60 FPS).

World War Z: Aftermath will officially launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with a free next-generation upgrade and additional enhancements, including the new Horde Mode XL in 2022.
