With World War Z: Aftermath having just launched pre-orders on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, we wanted to run through some exciting details surrounding the new episodes in the game.
Pre-order to get your hands on the game two days early and experience all-new stories from around the world, along with experiencing a unique new melee system, a First-Person Mode option, deep progression elements, and much more.
A hallmark of World War Z are the stories told from around the world, and Aftermath takes these tales to the next level. You are no longer just trying to survive the zombie apocalypse; now you’ll make a stand in order to turn the tide in the undead war.
Take Back Rome
Rome introduces four new playable characters to the World War Z game franchise. Sophia, Giovani, Daniela, and Marco are on the front lines of post-outbreak life in the city. You’ll rescue a group of engineers who have gone missing and are in danger of falling to the zombie horde.
These engineers have a bold plan to broadcast a call-to-arms to all survivors in Rome using the Vatican’s radio station. You’ll fight to survive at an old graveyard during heavy fog and navigate the streets of Rome with the help of an ally APC that packs some serious firepower.
From the narrow cobblestreet roads to the Colosseum, to catacombs, hospitals, and taking back Vatican City, you’ll encounter dangerous waves of hundreds of zombies simultaneously, Special Zombies, and a new enemy type: packs of ferocious, infected rats.
Rally survivors together and set a daring trap to lay waste to thousands of zombies in one fell swoop. Fight to win back the city and permanently change the course of the war.
Create a Defining Moment in Kamchatka
The weather can be cold and unforgiving in the Russian far east peninsula of Kamchatka, but that’s where we join the familiar faces of Tatsuo, Sho, Hiroji, and Kimiko, characters found in the Japan story episodes of World War Z. Amidst the infamous Russian winter, the camp has concluded that unless they find more heating fuel, they will freeze to death.
You’ll unite Japanese refugees and local survivors against the common enemies of zeke and the deadly, unrelenting weather. When there’s ice blocking passageways, it’s wise to remember that a flamethrower can melt open a path with ease.
Traverse an abandoned cruise ship to find a commander in order to make a pact between the Japanese and Russian settlements and work together for a solution.
In order to keep everyone alive, fight against both the zombie horde and the bitter cold itself through a blizzard as you search for the ultimate solution to power and heating: a nuclear submarine.
In World War Z: Aftermath, you’ll also be able to play all of the worldwide stories from the Game of the Year Edition of World War Z, including unique episodes in New York, Jerusalem, Moscow, Tokyo and Marseille. Whether you want to ride with friends in up to 4-player co-op or go the lone wolf approach with AI teammates, you’ll have a wealth of content to experience.
When the original World War Z launched in 2019, we were overwhelmed by your support. So far, over 15 million players have battled for survival against massive hordes of relentless zombies. We hope that you join us in this next big chapter when World War Z: Aftermath launches on September 21.
