Focus Home Interactive and developers from Saber Interactive announced that their cooperative shooter , inspired by the film of the same name from Paramount Pictures ('World War Z' with Brad Pitt), sold nearly 2 million copies worldwide within a month. To mark this occasion, a trailer showcasing gameplay footage and press reviews has been released.
The resource Kotaku called World War Z an excellent cooperative game and a worthy successor to Left 4 Dead 2; Game Informer agreed, naming it one of the best alternatives to Left 4 Dead; IGN praised it for the abundance of fun; Cultured Vultures believed that players need more similar projects; Den of Geek said that the cooperative shooter is immensely enjoyable and entertaining; PC Invasion noted the excellent level and character design; True Achievements considered the shooter to be the biggest and best surprise of 2019; and Critical Hit described it as a smart and refreshing step in the evolution of cooperative shooters.
"World War Z quickly became one of our most successful interactive games to date. This reflects both the excellent cooperative environment created by the efforts of Sabre Interactive and Focus Home Interactive, as well as the strong appeal of our franchise to fans worldwide," noted Paramount Pictures' Senior Vice President of Licensing and Interactive Entertainment, Josh Austin.
Support for World War Z doesn't end with just one release: developers have already promised that in the coming months, the game will feature a new mission in Tokyo, a new deadly type of zombie, the ability to set the difficulty level to six skulls, a weekly quests mode, and bonus cosmetics. Among other upcoming free updates, a survival mode with waves of enemies, closed matchmaking, the ability to change classes during player team matches, field of view (FOV) adjustments, graphics settings on PC, and much more are promised.
In Alexey Likhachev rated the game just 6 out of 10, describing World War Z as fun and engaging, but at times dull and monotonous, likely not to stay on buyers' hard drives for long. The advantages include diverse characters with interesting backstories and terrifying hordes of zombies that are fun to shoot and toss grenades at. He listed the lack of a storyline and new interesting ideas, uniformity, and pointless competitive modes as disadvantages.
