World War Z

We've been seeing a lot of media these past few months for the upcoming World War Z from Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive. The problem was, we didn't really have any sort of release date outside of a vague "2019" window.

Today, we were finally given a release date. That date is April 16, 2019 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Pre-orders are now open for your platform of choice. Plus, all pre-orders will get a "free" Lobo Weapon Pack. This in-game loot drop includes golden skins for three weapons: ARK-103 assault rifle, Keris V10 SMG, and the 1911 Protector. It also includes the Lobo melee weapon, a dual-bladed spade.

We've had a bunch of coverage here for the game already. This includes last week's look at the competitive game modes included with the game.

Powered by Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine™, World War Z unleashes hundreds of fast-moving, bloodthirsty zombies at a time for a one-of-a-kind action experience. Outlive the dead through intense four-player co-op campaign missions around the world, and battle both zombies and real human opponents in competitive, team-based Players vs. Players vs. Zombies (PvPvZ) multiplayer. Play in co-op with up to three friends using six distinct classes and an arsenal of deadly weapons, explosives, turrets and traps to decimate the undead and live to fight another day.
