Saber Interactive announces World War Z: Aftermath, another co-op shooter inspired by the zombie movie coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox one later this year. And while this will be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, a native version for those systems will also follow next year. Word is the original World War Z game recently celebrated its 15 millionth player, and owners of that game will receive a loyalty discount on the new one. The follow up promises 4K|60 fps gameplay, a new melee combat system, a new first-person mode, full crossplay on PC and consoles, and more. The Reveal Trailer offers a look. Here are more details:

Powered by the next generation of Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine™, World War Z: Aftermath turns the tide of our fight for survival back against the undead. Join up to three friends or play on your own with AI teammates against hordes of ravenous zombies in intense story episodes across new zombie-ravaged locations around the world: Rome, Vatican City and Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula.

Key Features:

• New Battles from a World at War: Play as both new and returning characters as you take the fight to the undead with a brutal new melee system, decimating zekes with unique moves, perks and dual-wield weapon options like the sickle and cleaver. Fend off new undead monstrosities, including swarms of flesh-hungry rats that will unleash total chaos on your team.
• The Next Generation of Zombie Action: Play in glorious 4K|60 FPS on next-gen systems. Endure endless waves of increasingly difficult zombies in the new Horde Mode XL game mode, exclusive to PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, featuring hundreds more zombies on screen than ever before possible (Horde Mode XL will arrive in a free post-launch update).
• New First-Person Mode: Experience a heart-pounding new perspective with Aftermath’s immersive first-person mode option.
• Deep Hero Progression: Level up eight unique classes — the Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, Exterminator, Dronemaster, and all-new Vanguard class — each with their own perks and playstyles. Customize your weapons to survive any challenge, and conquer new daily missions with special modifiers for bonus rewards.
