The next chapter for World War Z is finally here, and we can all take a trip to Florida in the World War Z universe
A new viral state has launched into the world of World War Z. No, we’re not talking about a new form of infection in the world, but the latest DLC that Saber Interactive has been cooking up in their labs over there. A new DLC that not only gives us more weapons and cosmetics to use in the game, but also the next chapter of the story we can expect to be fleshed out in World War Z. This one takes us to Florida and introduces a new cast of characters to follow as the zombie apocalypse unfolds on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If you want a little heat and a different look at the biome that is Florida in a different video game, this is it. It’s interesting to see that we have two games heading there in these weeks, but I’m not going to complain at all.
As we mentioned before when this DLC for World War Z was first announced, it’s coming in both a free and paid form of things out there. The free parts of this “update” are that we’re going to see some Arsenal and Perk upgrades, a rework to the daily challenges, and then there’s the new first-person mode that we’ll be able to experience. Those who are willing to toss out more money for the DLC will get to head into the brand-new campaign story in World War Z that’ll take us down to Florida and all of the horrors going on down there. For just a little bit more, we’re going to have a set of new cosmetics that are all themed around the State and the things to do in it. A way to have a bit of our Summer in the middle of the Autumn and Winter that the DLC will be hitting us with. Not terrible, but also worth noting for all of that. You can get a better look at what has just launched out there in the following video that we have for the announcement.
