‘World War Z: Aftermath’ Arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series January 24, Includes New Horde Mode XL

Published

Taking a bit of a break from Evil Dead: The Game, Saber Interactive has announced that World War Z: Aftermath will finally be heading to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series later this month on January 24. For previous-gen owners on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you’ll be receiving a free upgrade to these new versions on your respective platforms.

In addition, the current-gen release will also mark the arrival of the new supersized Horde Mode XL, which is available exclusively on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The new Horde Mode XL follows the same rules as the Aftermath’s standard Horde Mode, albeit with a new twist — scattered among the normal waves of enemies will be a special XL wave that contains over 1,000 hungry zombies. This will obviously require you and your team to pull out all the stops to survive.

If that’s not enough, all World War Z: Aftermath and World War Z players on consoles and PC will also receive a free update on January 24 that introduces mutators into the standard Horde Mode Z game mode. On top of that, the update also includes new weapons and a revamped and improved weapon progression system.

And in case you’re wondering about our thoughts on the original version of World War Z, hit up Neil’s take.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
