Zombies are so en vogue right now. The Walking Dead; Dead Island; Dead Space; you name it and it probably has a zombie in it. The latest gaming craze with zombies is Day Z which has you playing in an open world trying to survive zombie hordes and other live players. The only thing is that it’s a mod and you have to have the game Arma 2 in order to play it. But it looks like there is a dedicated zombie MMORPG coming out soon that looks to establish it’s self as the premier survial MMO, The War Z.

The War Z is the world’s first survival mmo in a zombie infested world. You may have played games before – now it’s time to live one.

It’s been five years since the outbreak; leaving in its wake a post-apocalyptic nightmare with ninety-five percent of the human population gone. In order to stay alive, you will need food, weapons, and other supplies. Some of you will be able to scavenge as you navigate the terrain, others will be forced to fight for survival as you encounter zombies and other players. Every decision will have an impact on whether you live or how quickly you die.

Forget subscriptions, forget paid DLC and expansion packs.

The War Z is as simple as this – once you install the game to your computer, you will be able to get into the game quickly and play without worrying about subscription fees, no hidden fees, and no paid updates. All updates will be seamlessly delivered to you free of charge when they’re released.

This sounds awesome. I am definately going to try and pick this up when it’s available. The game is available for pre-order, which grants you access to the closed beta. Check out some shots of the game in the gallery below.
