Zombie Army 4: Dead War arrives on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One next week, and ahead of its impending release we've got a preview of what to expect from Rebellion's arcade shooter. Join us as we play through the first Story chapter and then switch over to the Horde Mode.
There are a number of hands-on previews for Zombie Army 4: Dead War making their rounds through the Internet this week. We'll link to a few down below, along with some captured gameplay footage courtesy of IGN, but the big takeaway seems to be this: if you liked Strange Brigade but wish it was more Nazi zombies and less mummies, good news!
Rebellion’s Zombie Army Trilogy will be limping over (as zombies do) to the Nintendo Switch come the first half of 2020. The game is set to include all previously released content, including the Horde mode and all story chapters, as well as an exclusive feature to the Nintendo version: wireless multiplayer for up to four players. More ways to play with friends means more co-opportunities to enjoy!
After six weeks in Early Access, Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The title follows in the footsteps of the Garden Warfare games, but is now a "live" game, meaning that there will be frequent content updates, weekly/daily challenges, and more (many of which were already in Garden Warfare, they're just codified now). At launch, the title supports PvE co-op in two modes: "Free-Roam Regions," and the wave-based survival mode, "Garden/Graveyard Ops."
The latest entry in Rebellion's zombie sniping series, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, has an official release date: February 4, 2020. That's right, just a little over a week before Valentine's Day, you can pick up the game where you can watch a bullet slowly enter and pierce a zombie's heart. Awwww...
The studio behind the previous three Zombie Army games, Rebellion, has revealed their newest installment in the series at the PC showcase during E3 2019. Zombie Army 4: Dead War was announced through a stylized trailer that can be found below, followed by a gameplay reveal soon after, which can also be found below. The game has no specific release date but is currently slated to arrive early 2020 across Xbox One, Playstation 4, and the Epic Game Store.
The third and final chapter in the "Chaos" zombies story has arrived. "Ancient Evil" is now available for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on the PlayStation 4 (sometime later for Xbox One and PC), provided you've got a Black Ops Pass. You're headed back to ancient Greece, but rather than a colosseum, you'll be exploring the underground city of Delphi and taking on some mythological beasts.
If none of the new releases are tickling your fancy these days, perhaps a dip into the past is in order. PopCap's Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is available to all Xbox Live Gold members (i.e., it is "free" with an active subscription, which isn't free) until April 15.
Since Call of Duty: World at War, the series staple for co-op has been its zombies mode. The four player cooperative mode has players balancing base building, weapon upgrades, and survival with attempting to proceed to higher and higher levels and unlock narrative secrets. Today Treyarch have revealed the zombies mode included with the multiplayer only Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Some co-op favorite will be available via Xbox Game Pass this month. These games include Zombie Army Trilogy, Human: Fall Flat and Warhammer Vermintide 2. If you’re unfamiliar, Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service where, for a monthly fee, players can pick from a selection of games to play for free as long as you maintain your subscription. The ever-growing library features over 100 titles, and new games are coming at different points throughout July.
The PlayStation Blog spoke with senior director Jon Horsley from Sledgehammer Games about the Zombie Mode in the forthcoming Call of Duty: WWII. There are a few interesting tidbits scattered in the interview, but it also sounds like there isn't anything particularly new here compared to the Zombie Modes of the previous Call of Duty entries.
