Publisher Focus Home Interactive and developers from Saber Interactive said that their cooperative thriller , created based on the Paramount Pictures film of the same name ("World War Z" with Brad Pitt), was sold in a month with a circulation of almost 2 million copies worldwide. On this occasion, a trailer is presented with a demonstration of gameplay excerpts and press reviews.
Resource Kotaku called World War Z an excellent co-op and a worthy heir to Left 4 Dead 2; Game Informer agreed, calling the game one of the best Left 4 Dead counterparts; IGN praised the abundance of fun; Cultured Vultures felt that players needed more projects like this; Den of Geek said that the co-op shooter is immensely satisfying and fun; PC Invasion noted the excellent level and character design; True Achievements considered the action movie the biggest and best surprise of 2019; and Critical Hit is a smart and invigorating step in the evolution of co-op shooters.
βWorld War Z has quickly become one of our most successful interactive games to date. This is both a testament to the excellent cooperative environment created by Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive and the strong appeal of our franchise to fans around the world,β said Josh Austin, Senior Vice President of Licensing and Interactive Entertainment at Paramount Pictures. .
Support for World War Z is not limited to one release: the 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 setting to six skulls, a weekly challenge mode and bonus cosmetics. Other upcoming free updates include a survival mode with waves of enemies, closed matchmaking, the ability to change classes during matches between teams of players, FOV settings, level of detail on PC, and much more.
Π Aleksey Likhachev gave the game only 6 points out of 10, calling World War Z a fun and exciting, but sometimes dull and monotonous action movie that is unlikely to linger on buyers' hard drives for a long time. Among the advantages are a variety of characters with interesting backgrounds and frightening crowds of zombies that are fun to shoot and throw grenades. Among the shortcomings, he attributed the lack of a plot and new interesting ideas, monotony and meaningless competitive modes.
