Digital pre-orders open for Xbox One’s new World War Z video game

Pre-orders for the upcoming World War Z video game are now live on Xbox One. The game is based on the movie of the same name that debuted way back in 2013 and is a third-person shooter that can support up to four players in the main campaign and up to eight in its various online game modes.

Here’s the official game description and teaser trailer:

Preorder World War Z and receive the infamous, dual-bladed Lobo melee weapon, along with a trio of golden weapon skins to take down the zombie hordes in style! World War Z is a heart-pounding coop third-person shooter for up to 4 players with swarms of hundreds of zombies. Based on the Paramount Pictures film, the game focuses on fast-paced gunplay in exhilarating storylines set around the world.

• Battle swarms of hundreds of zombies – the Swarm Engine™ seamlessly renders hordes of zombies in incredible firefights. Advanced gore systems offer gruesomely satisfying action.
• Coop story-driven campaigns – survive around the world, as unique groups tell their stories of perseverance.
• Fight other players for survival – several intense Player vs Player vs Zombies game modes complement the coop campaigns.
• Grow stronger – unlock powerful weapon upgrades and level 16 character classes to take on greater challenges.

World War Z is set to launch on the Xbox One on April 16th and will play in 4K UHD when played on Microsoft’s Xbox One X console.

Funnily enough, the sequel to the World War Z film was cancelled just last week which likely makes this game the last chance for fans to explore the world of the film.
