Saber Interactive have fulfilled a much-requested feature as part of their new update for World War Z: a new Horde Mode. Horde Mode Z (yes, that’s its name) has players forming a team of four, then facing off against waves of progressively more challenging enemies. The longer they survive, the bigger the rewards offered. In between rounds, players have the chance to upgrade their firepower and defenses, as well as scavenge for free pickups like heavy weapons and medkits.
In addition to the Horde Mode, a new zombie known as The Bomber has been added to the game. This new zombie drops an explosive when downed, leaving players a few seconds to disarm it. As well, new premium weapon skins have also been added, which are free for those who purchased the Season Pass.
For the future, Saber Interactive also announced that the PvE crossplay, along with the new cosmetics, are going to be moved to next year to ensure that all releases meet the developer’s standards. This update will serve as the final Season 2 update. It’ll be completely free, along with new cosmetics for players.
