‘World War Z VR’ Out Now on Meta Quest, SteamVR [Trailer]
VR fans can finally face the swarms of the undead with Saber Interactive’s World War Z VR, which is out now on SteamVR and Meta Quest. Capturing the intense action of Saber’s World War Z video game franchise that now garnered over 25 million players around the world, this new single-player VR experience puts you face to face with overwhelming hordes of hundreds of ravaging zombies on screen at a time for a uniquely intense experience.
In World War Z VR, you’ll choose between seven playable heroes with your pre-selected AI squad, and try to survive gruesome challenges against the undead across three massive unique locations: New York, Tokyo and Marseille. Featuring a variety of customization options to fit your playstyle, including three difficulty modes and a wide selection of weapons and perks to give yourself the edge over the most gruesome firefights, World War Z VR give the franchise’s action and intensity an up close and personal experience.
With up to 200 ravaging zombies at a time on screen, players will have their hands full. Adding to that is the fact that the zombies will adapt to their surroundings and your playstyle to hunt you down, while special infected enemies raise the stakes even higher.
As an extra treat, if you haven’t picked up the original World War Z on Steam, you can grab a bundle featuring World War Z VR and the original game (sadly not World War Z Aftermath) for a 20% discount.
