Saber has revealed a brand new DLC for World War Z and it is one that makes a lot of sense. In January, World War Z players will be able to get their hands on The Walking Dead DLC which will add a new story campaign starring Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Michonne, and Negan as playable characters with three new locations also part of the pack. Those are the Prison, Alexandria Safe Zone, and Grady Memorial Hospital.
“Saber has built incredible partnerships across the biggest horror universes and properties, so
joining forces with The Walking Dead felt like a natural fit for World War Z,” said Matthew Karch,
CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive. “Uniting these two worlds is something I’ve wanted to
do for a long time, and it’s amazing to finally have it happening.”
Alongside the new characters and chapter locations, the World War Z x The Walking Dead DLC will have new two weapons and two new weapon skins. The weapons are Michonne’s Katana and Negan’s Bat “Lucille”, while the weapon skins are Rick’s Revolver and Daryl’s Crossbow. Players will also have to deal with the new enemy type which are the Spiked Walkers, which have high defence with melee weapons useless until they get knocked down. Once on the ground, you can use melee weapons to stop them getting up.
“In the finest tradition of Reese’s and ‘two great tastes that taste great together,’ we are so
excited to be partnering with Paramount and Saber to mash up two iconic zombie franchises, The
Walking Dead and World War Z,” said Clayton Neuman, VP of Games and Franchise at AMC. “We
can’t wait for fans of both series to see for themselves how much fun it is when Walker and Zeke
worlds collide.”
World War Z x The Walking Dead will be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series XS.
