Get Your Zombie MMO Fix With ‘The War Z’ Available Now On Steam
Hammerpoint Interactive’s incredibly popular post-apocalyptic zombie MMO The War Z has shambled out of its beta phase and over to Steam. The game, which isn’t to be confused with the similarly titled World War Z, or the similarly themed Day Z, is available now for $13.49 for the basic game. If you want some money to spend, you can drop $22.49 for 2,100 in-game credits or $44.99 for 7,500 credits (along with the game). Hammerpoint is referring to this as a “Foundation Release,” which basically means it’s been improved since the beta, but they’re going to continue to add, tweak, and enhance it in the near future.
If you already have the game you can get a serial key that will convert your account to a Steam account so you can enjoy extra features such as achievements, friends, access to your Steam wallet, etc. Anyone here getting this, or are you waiting for the standalone Day Z (or both)?

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
