The team’s spent the last few months since the game’s last delay back in November of 2021 showing off many of the features of this belated sequel – including some of the elite zombies you’ll have to fight in the game’s post-apocalyptic version of LA.
These include Elite variations of zombies, each with unique ways of making your day that much harder. For example – Screamers blood curdling cry can knock you back – and alert nearby hordes.
Meanwhile, Slobbers will cover the player in an acidic bile – blocking their vision and making it harder to move. Deal with these threats and then there’s also the Apex zombies; who’ll really pose a challenge for you and your band of zombie hunters.
Deep Silver and Dambuster have now delivered on their promise by providing the latest in-depth gameplay trailer. You can check it out in all its zombie-slaying glory below.
