From Saber Interactive, behind the upcoming Evil Dead: The Game, pick from three of your best friends or AI if you have a B.O. as you push back the zombie hordes. And horde isn’t used lightly here as the game will be using Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine, so expect lots of resistance.
World War Z: Aftermath isn’t just mindless zombie discrimination, as there’s a story too, and players will be able to see the world – including the Vatican City and the Kamchatka peninsula. If you didn’t pay attention in Geography, that’s in Russia.
Key features:
- New Battles from a World at War: Play as both new and returning characters as you take the fight to the undead with a brutal new melee system, decimating zekes with unique moves, perks and dual-wield weapon options like the sickle and cleaver.
