Upcoming Zombie Games that Proves the Genre Just Won’t Die
World War Z
Speaking of hordes of zombies, Days Gone’s huge mobs of flesh-eaters certainly looks like something its developers lifted from World War Z. The hit 2013 movie starring Brad Pitt thrilled audiences with its clusters of zombies piling atop of each other.
The thing is, World War Z is getting its own AAA zombie game, complete with its own waves of zombies that mimic the movies’ visually impressive scenes.
To be fair, though, this is shaping up as a very different sort of gameplay experience. A cooperative multiplayer horde-survival game, World War Z looks like a blend of Left 4 Dead and The Division. And early signs are that it’s shaping up pretty well.
It would be all too easy to write off World War Z’s spin-off as yet another licensed game cash grab, but previews from a variety of outlets (we haven’t had a chance to play the game ourselves, yet) speak of solid gunplay and the option to use different strategies to take out zombie hordes and work toward objectives.
World War Z might not necessarily be one for the hardcore zombie enthusiast, after all. It could end up as the next go-to cooperative zombie game as we wait for the rumored Left 4 Dead 3.
