World War Z Begins with Game’s Release

Saber Interactive, in partnership with Focus Home Interactive, has released World War Z, the action-packed co-op shooter inspired by Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster film. The game is now available digitally and at most major retailers on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $39.99, as well as on Windows PC via the Epic Games Store for $34.99.

Powered by Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine, World War Z unleashes hundreds of fast-moving, bloodthirsty zombies – able to move and strike as one collective herd as well as break off into individual attackers – at a time on players. Choose from six distinct classes and an arsenal of deadly weapons, explosives, turrets and traps. Outlive the dead through intense four-player co-op campaign missions around the world, including New York, Jerusalem, Moscow and Tokyo, and battle both zombies and real human opponents in competitive, team-based Players vs. Players vs. Zombies (PvPvZ) multiplayer.

World War Z is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB. For more information, visit http://wwzgame.com
