How co-op works
Up to four players tackle story campaigns against swarms of hundreds that crowd corridors and climb over one another to reach the squad. Eight classes provide distinct perks and play styles, so coordinated roles and concentrated fire are needed to contain each horde.
About this game
World War Z throws four players into relentless co-op missions against swarms that can number in the hundreds. Developed by Saber Interactive, this third-person shooter leans heavily on teamwork as you mow down waves of fast-moving undead that climb over one another to reach your squad. The game delivers spectacle and chaos in equal measure, with true cooperative play at its core.

You'll fortify positions, deploy traps, and coordinate firepower to survive each outbreak scenario. Class-based progression lets each player specialize in different roles, from heavy gunners to medics, rewarding squads that communicate and cover each other's weaknesses. The sheer scale of the zombie hordes creates moments of frantic pressure that make every successful defense feel earned.
Online co-op supports up to four players, with cross-platform multiplayer letting friends team up across different systems. The game also includes PvP modes where players face off while zombies complicate the battlefield, but the co-op campaign remains the signature experience built around communication and shared survival.
