‘World War Z VR’ Launches Massive Zombie Hordes on Quest & PC VR This August

Okay, so picture this: I’m sitting here, sipping on my lukewarm coffee (because who ever drinks it hot, right?), when I see that Saber Interactive is diving into the VR world with their first World War Z game for Quest and SteamVR. This is happening on August 12th, by the way. Um, exciting much?

So, they’ve decided to take the OG zombie madness and craft it for VR. Yeah, like, you’re going to be in it. The action’s intense, they say. But who knows, maybe I’ll just hide in a corner and hope for the best. And forget that third-person view from before – now you’re smack dab in first-person chaos, just you against the horde. Solo style, wandering through places like New York, Tokyo, and Marseille. Makes you wonder what kind of snacks you’d find along the way in virtual Marseille, right?

Then there’s this bit about facing over 200 zombies at once. TWO HUNDRED. Imagine your headset slipping just as they’re coming at you. “Faithfully reimagined,” they call it. Sounds fancy, but pretty sure it means “good luck not tripping over your own feet.” Seven characters to choose from, too. I always end up picking the one that trips over their own shoelaces.

Oh, and the zombies are smart. Like, not your run-of-the-mill walkers. They adapt. I could swear there was a time they just shuffled and groaned. But no, they’ve got strategies now, like they’re running the zombie Olympics. You’ll meet some special infected too – sounds like a party I’d maybe RSVP ‘no’ to.

Mark it on your calendars, since it’s dropping on August 12th. Pre-orders are open. Twenty bucks, no discount but hey, you get this ‘Golden Skin Pack.’ I assume that’s important? Like when you get the medium size fries hoping they’d fill you up the same as large. Anyway, enjoy the golden zombies, or whatever it ends up being. Honestly, I’m still trying to finish a game I bought two years ago, so we’ll see.

And now my coffee’s cold. Fantastic.
