World War Z GOTY Edition (v2026.03.10)

The Game of the Year Edition also brings with it a few other ways to play. A challenging Horde mode has been added that can be played with three other players, or bots if you don’t fancy matchmaking. The mode works as you would expect it; you start with a small amount of currency with which you can purchase some defensive items such as an electrified grid to trap the Zekes or perhaps an automated turret. Surviving a wave will net you more currency which can be used to purchase more defenses or repair existing ones. During certain waves you will also be asked to complete random tasks such as electrifying a certain number of enemies or setting them on fire, completing them and you will be rewarded with additional items. The waves get increasingly tougher to beat with limited supplies to restock and heal yourselves, and failure comes often. Like much of the game, Horde mode is good fun, but it isn’t anything you haven’t already seen before.
