Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive shared a first look today at the roadmap for the upcoming second season of free content that is coming to World War Z.
The following will be scheduled for release sometime in the coming months (World War Z Season 2 Roadmap):
- Two challenging new PvE missions set in Moscow and New York.

- A dangerous new zombie type.
- PvE crossplay support.
- The ability to prestige rank up for new weapon skins and perks.
- A fiery new weapon and new cosmetic items.
Here’s a quick overview of the game, via Saber Interactive:
World War Z is a heart-pounding coop third-person shooter for up to 4 players featuring massive swarms of hundreds of zombies. Focused on fast-paced gameplay, World War Z follows the story of a hardened few struggling together to outlive the dead.
Battle swarms of hundreds of zombies in gruesomely spectacular firefights
Coop story-driven campaigns
Fight other survivors in Player vs Player vs Zombies modes
Level six character classes and various weapon upgrades to take on greater challenges:
Gunslinger – For those who skip the questions and shoot first, the Gunslinger is loaded with an arsenal of weapon damage and ammo-boosting perks to mow down the dead.
Hellraiser – Enough explosives can solve any problem! Hellraisers come armed with C4 and other tools for effective crowd control.
Slasher – For warriors with a sense of elegance, the best way to kill is with your trusty blade. Slashers have perks that increase melee damage and effectiveness while their armed tasers deliver electrifying results.
Medic – Sometimes the best way to fight the undead is keeping your teammates from becoming one of them. Armed with a Stim Pistol, Medics can heal fellow survivors from a distance and help keep the chaos under control.
Fixer – When versatility in any situation is the highest priority, the Fixer is there for you, starting out with an explosive ammo case and several teammate ammo-restoring perks.
Exterminator – Fire is the answer! Armed with Molotov cocktails and increased fire damage, the Exterminator just wants to watch the undead burn.
As a recap, World War Z’s first season of free content included the Weekly Challenge mode, “The Undead Sea” Tokyo mission, and the six-skulls extreme difficulty settings, as well as other treats for players.
World War Z is available digitally and at major retailers on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via the Epic Games Store. Check back with us again for more news on the World War Z Season 2 content in the coming months. Stay tuned.
