Announced last year at The Games Award, World War Z is a four player cooperative survival game inspired by the blockbuster movie, which was based off the book of the same name. The Game which is being developed by Saber Interactive, will take a page from Left 4 Dead’s book in the form of its fast paced combat and gameplay as well as the style of the zombies that were featured in the hit movie.
Normally you look at the zombie genre in games, movies books, etc. and it looks like it’s been done to death (no pun intended), but World War Z looks to be changing it. In an interview with Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch with Official Playstation Magazine (courtesy of comicbook.com), in which he stated:
The sheer quantity of swarming enemies on the screen and the way they interact by climbing over one another to reach areas that would be safe in other games is unique to World War Z. I would say it truly defines the game. Fighting the swarms that can be either one massive enemy or 1,000 individual ones is exhilarating and addicting.
.Hopefully the game lives up to hype and delivers a fresh (I know) new take on an already exhausted genre. Check out the newest cinematic trailer below.
