Saber Interactive, the studio behind PC and console shooter\u00a0World War Z (2019), revealed the franchise is getting its first VR game, bringing the iconic swarm of zombies to Quest and SteamVR headsets on August 12th.<\/p>\n
World War Z VR is set to be an entirely new entry in the series built from the ground-up for VR, something the studio says \u201cfaithfully reimagines the intense action of the original World War Z game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unlike the PC and console game though, which featured a third-person view and had a number of multiplayer modes, the VR release is said to offer up a first-person, single-player campaign set across New York, Tokyo and Marseille.<\/p>\n
World War Z VR\u00a0promises to let you take on \u201cover 200 zombies\u201d at a time, with every gameplay mechanic of the original World War Z\u00a0fully reimagined for VR, the studio says, which is set to feature seven playable characters in addition to its host of weapons, perks and three difficulty settings.<\/p>\n
And like the in the World War Z (2013) film and 2006 Max Brooks novel, zombies are far from brainless walkers; the studio says zombies \u201cwill adapt to their surroundings and your playstyle to hunt you down, while special infected enemies raise the stakes even higher.\u201d<\/p>\n
Launching August 12th,\u00a0World War Z VR is now available for pre-order on the Horizon Store<\/a> for Quest 2 and above and on Steam<\/a> for PC VR headsets, priced at $20. Although there\u2019s no pre-order discount to speak of, pre-order customers will get an exclusive \u2018Golden Skin Pack\u2019 weapon bonus.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saber Interactive, the studio behind PC and console shooter\u00a0World War Z (2019), revealed the franchise is getting its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-146898","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114602705201217699","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
