New “Extinction” Update Comes to ‘World War Z: Aftermath’ Today [Trailer]
After giving fans the free “Battle of Arizona” Update earlier this summer, Saber Interactive has launched another new free update for World War Z: Aftermath today with “Extinction”. The update adds new mutators for Challenge Mode, the addition of the Arizona XL map (for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series players) to Challenge Horde Mode, a new heavy weapon skin customization option, the premium Golden Bloom Weapon Skin Pack DLC, and the new, “exceptionally tough” Extinction Challenge Mode.
If you’re up for it, the new Extinction Challenge Mode for World War Z: Aftermath raises the bar even higher than before, with even more aggressive zombies that are harder to take down and can infect you on contact. Allies will be tougher to distinguish from the pack and death occurs after just one incapacitation, with respawns only possible at checkpoints.
Each week in Extinction Challenge Mode, maps from one campaign episode will be featured on rotation. Players who complete all maps from any episode for the first time in this mode will receive bonus rewards like a heavy weapon skin, 350 blue coins and 1,000 gold coins.
The Extinction update also adds 13 new mutators for Challenge Horde Mode:
- Grenadier – The Bomber throws explosives until neutralized
- Myopia – After aiming, your vision becomes blurred
- Plague Creatures – During the wave, a random special zombie and poison cloud appears
- Mass Contamination – The Booster infects a larger group of zombies nearby
- Angry Turrets – At the start of the wave, all deployed turrets become neutral, posing a deadly threat to both zombies and human players
- New Advantages for All 8 Classes – Raise the health and damage of each class by 50%
And for those who love their cosmetics, there’s the Golden Bloom Weapon Skin Pack, which you can snag for $4.99 USD. The pack includes flashy floral patterns for the Geist 17MP pistol, Paladin LMG rifle, Keris V10 SMG, BSS-2 shotgun and MAG-5 machine gun.
World War Z: Aftermath is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
