The pre-orders are open for World War Z: Aftermath and we get a look at the new content coming to World War Z when it launches again
The hordes are rushing at us soon in World War Z: Aftermath but that does not mean we do not have more time to get prepared for the launch on September 19th. Yes, that is still a few weeks out from now and Saber Interactive has some time to make sure it is all perfected. That does not mean that we cannot secure our copy or upgrade from World War Z right now and show our support to the team building it all. It is all available to do now and it looks like we will get a few cool items when pre-ordering and gearing up. That and it gives us all one more reason to show off the new gameplay features coming to the game with the new content in just a few weeks. Not that we need an excuse to have a look at all of that, that is.
Those that are looking to pre-order this new expansion for World War Z will also be able to use two bonus weapons, Sledgehammer and Dual Cleavers, and a bunch of new weapon skins. Well, that is if you go for the Deluxe Edition of the game you will get those items. We will all still be getting the new locations, stories, and other expansion items no matter the case. That and the new first-person mode to use in World War Z for all of these new things or the whole experience once more. It is something that I can say I wish I could toggle through before. Now I just have one more reason to head back and gear up. Now I just need to recruit a few more friends to join me in the mix of it all.

Powered by the next generation of Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine, World War Z: Aftermath lets you play with up to three friends or on your own with AI teammates against hordes of ravenous zombies in two totally new story episodes set in the city of Rome (including Vatican City) and Russia’s snowbound Kamchatka peninsula.

Are you going to be getting back into World War Z in a few weeks or will you be joining in for the first time? Do you think we should have had the first-person mode from launch or did you enjoy the third-person style the whole time? Do you think that these weapons will be good enough to justify the extra costs or will you just hold off until they come out for all down the line?
