War Z – Introducing The New Zombie MMO

Announced just last month, War Z is an Open World MMO Survival title that takes place during the zombie apocalypse. Not to be confused with Arma’s II DayZ Mod, War Z is a completely new adventure and developed by a new and entirely different developer, Hammerpoint Interactive. The game is set to release this Fall, exclusively for PC at a price of $30.

About The Game

“It’s been five years since the outbreak; leaving in its wake a post-apocalyptic nightmare with ninety-five percent of the human population gone. In order to stay alive, you will need food, weapons, and other supplies. Some of you will be able to scavenge as you navigate the terrain, others will be forced to fight for survival as you encounter zombies and other players. Every decision will have an impact on whether you live or how quickly you die.”

“Survival Horror MMO that immerses players in a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world in which a viral outbreak has decimated the human population leaving, in its wake, a nightmare of epic proportion.”

  • Big open worlds to explore between 200 to 400 square kilometers
