The dead are back for more! The new “Extinction” update is now available in World War Z: Aftermath, the ultimate co-op zombie shooter from Saber Interactive. Free on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, this newest update features fresh mutators for Challenge Mode, the addition of the Arizona XL* map to Challenge Horde Mode, a new heavy weapon skin customization option, the premium Golden Bloom Weapon Skin Pack DLC, and the new, exceptionally tough Extinction Challenge Mode!
Think you’ve got what it takes? The new Extinction Challenge Mode raises the bar even higher, with even more aggressive zombies that are harder to take down and can infect you on contact. Allies will be tougher to distinguish from the pack and death occurs after just one incapacitation, with respawns only possible at checkpoints.
Each week in Extinction Challenge Mode, maps from one campaign episode will be featured on rotation. Players who complete all maps from any episode for the first time in this mode will receive bonus rewards like a heavy weapon skin, 350 blue coins and 1,000 gold coins!
Today’s update also adds 13 new mutators for Challenge Horde Mode:
- Grenadier – The Bomber throws explosives until neutralized
- Myopia – After aiming, your vision becomes blurred
- Plague Creatures – During the wave, a random special zombie and poison cloud appears
- Mass Contamination – The Booster infects a larger group of zombies nearby
- Angry Turrets – At the start of the wave, all deployed turrets become neutral, posing a deadly threat to both zombies and human players
- New Advantages for All 8 Classes – Raise the health and damage of each class by 50%
Players can also grab new premium cosmetic styles for their arsenal today. Available for $4.99, the Golden Bloom Weapon Skin Pack DLC brings flashy floral patterns to the Geist 17MP pistol, Paladin LMG rifle, Keris V10 SMG, BSS-2 shotgun and MAG-5 machine gun.
