About this game Read the full description
World War Z is a heart-pounding co-op third-person shooter for up to 4 players featuring swarms of hundreds of zombies that has now captivated over 25 million players. Based on the Paramount Pictures film, World War Z focuses on fast-paced gameplay while exploring new storylines from around the world.
Humanity is on the brink of extinction. From New York to Moscow to Japan and Jerusalem, the undead apocalypse continues to spread. As the end looms, a hardened few band together to defeat the horde and outlive the dead.
Battle swarms of hundreds of zombies
The Swarm Engine™ seamlessly renders hordes of zombies in incredible firefights. Advanced gore systems offer gruesomely satisfying action. In-game Zombie Hordes behave like real crowds, getting stuck in narrow corridors and climbing on top of each other to reach players on higher levels. Hordes become increasingly more difficult to defeat and behave like single entity bosses as players progress through the game.
Coop story-driven campaigns
Survive around the world, as unique groups tell their stories of perseverance.
Choose Your Class
Level up to 8 unique classes – Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, Exterminator, Dronemaster and the new Vanguard class in WWZ: Aftermath – each with their own unique perks and play styles.
Deep Progression
Grow stronger – unlock powerful weapon upgrades and level your character class to take on greater challenges.
PVPVZ
Fight other players for survival – several intense Player vs Player vs Zombies game modes complement the coop campaigns.
