World War Z is Now Free on Epic Games Store

This week Epic Games Store surprised us with World War Z give away.

World War Z is a thrilling four-player cooperative third-person shooter featuring massive swarms of zombies that recklessly rush their living prey. Focused on fast-paced gameplay — and based on the incredibly popular Paramount Pictures property of the same name — World War Z explores new storylines and characters from around the world in tense, overwhelming, gruesomely exciting missions crafted specifically for modern consoles and PC.

The swarm feels neither fear nor mercy. It rolls forward to spread and consume. Together, make your stand and unload an arsenal of deadly weaponry into these hundreds of swarming zombies. Feel the satisfying rush of life as you cheat death and prevail against such overwhelming odds. Cut the undead down with rocket launchers, machine guns, sentries, turrets, grenade launchers, barbed wire, and more.

Stories From a World at War

Humanity is on the brink of extinction. From New York, to Moscow, to Jerusalem, the undead apocalypse continues to spread. Countless millions of ravenous zombies without feeling or fear overwhelm and infect the embattled survivors of World War Z.
As the end looms, a hardened few band together and endure. Alone, we are easily overcome. Together, we may yet bring down the horde and press on. For our story – the story of humanity – can only live on if we do.

Moscow: Father Popov and his team must survive the zombie horde to find a secret Kremlin bunker.

New York: A group of survivors atop a Manhattan office building must survive the zombie infested buildings, streets and subways of New York to escape the city while the military attempts to take it back.

Jerusalem: A military squad must rescue a top scientist from the fallen city to activate a weapons system on an abandoned satellite base.

Tokyo: Quick to respond to the global outbreak, Japan decides to evacuate the country. A volunteer search and rescue team must battle the hordes to protect the civilian population as they retreat to Tokyo harbor.

The Zombie Swarm

In-game Zombie Hordes behave like real crowds, getting stuck in narrow corridors and climbing on top of each other to reach players on higher levels. Hordes become increasingly more difficult to defeat and behave like single entity bosses as players progress through the game.

The proprietary Swarm Engine™ by Saber Interactive seamlessly renders hundreds of zombies on-screen in incredible firefights. Advanced gore and dismemberment systems provide a visceral and gruesomely satisfying third-person shooter experience.

Choose Your Class

Level up six unique classes - Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, and Exterminator - each with their own unique perks and play styles. Customize powerful weapons to survive higher difficulty challenges.

Procedural enemy and item spawns — based on player performance — provide a highly replayable co-op experience. Stand your ground, gear up, and strategize as you set traps, barricades, turrets, and sentries to survive the zombie swarms.
