It’s been a long while since we even last heard about the MadDog Games-published World War Z from Saber Interactive. Today, the devs provided IGN with a little holiday treat in the form of another trailer, with this one looking at the six possible character classes you can choose from to fend off the hordes of zombies coming your way.

Due out next year, the four-player co-op multiplayer game will you choosing from the following to deal with the hundreds of zombies coming your way:

  • Exterminator: Uses Molotov cocktails and gets increased fire damage.
  • Fixer: Has an explosive ammo case and perks that restore teammate ammo.
  • Gunslinger: Basically the tank class. Focus on high weapon damage and ammo-boosting perks.
  • Hellraiser: Armed with C4 and other explosives.
  • Medic: You can guess this one. Has a Stim Pistol to heal teammates from range.
  • Slasher: Melee focus. This class’s perks focus on increasing close-quarter damage. Oh, and Slashers get a taser.

In addition, according to the game’s website, World War Z is the latest upcoming game to jump ship from Steam over to the Epic Store platform. The website no longer features the familiar Steam logo, but instead just has the PC logo.

World War Z will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2019.

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
