Based on the novel and film of the same name, World War Z allows players to experience the global zombie outbreak from diverse perspectives, telling unique stories across various campaigns, each with their own cast of characters.

The latest free update for World War Z: Aftermath, titled "Battle for Arizona," brings a brand-new map for the game's challenging Horde Mode XL. Set in an abandoned military museum in Phoenix, this map will put players' survival skills to the test as they battle against an even larger and more relentless zombie horde. To aid in their fight, players will have access to a new pickup item, Improving Bags, which can enhance their damage, ammunition capacity, or grenade reserves.

Furthermore, the update grants players the ability to switch their class selection mid-game during Horde Mode XL. Before each wave, survivors will have the opportunity to adjust their class, enabling entire teams to dynamically adapt their tactics to better handle the incoming horde.
