World War Z: Aftermath New Update Brings Horde Mode Map and New Challenges

A brand new update has dropped for World War Z: Aftermath and it looks to be a really exciting one for the game! The "Holy Terror" update officially drops today, bringing in a brand new map for Horde Mode XL and new progression systems, among other additions:

In the new "Holy Terror" update, we will get the Rome map for Horde Mode XL, 2 brand new weapons (Repeating Rifle and Multi-Shot Rocket Launcher), 9 new perks for each class, new mutators for Challenge Horde mode, and some new trinkets. There is a new pack of premium skins, the Victory Lap Pack, available now too which makes your guns into a nice blue and orange color.

The "Holy Terror" update is completely free, while the weapon skin pack is $5.

World War Z: Aftermath is a third-person co-op shooter that puts you and 3 others against hundreds and hundreds of zombies. Utilizing Saber Interactive's Swarm engine, you will be able to gruesomely dismember them. With campaigns fully playable in co-op, PvE and PvPvE modes, and a great progression system with 8 classes, you will be able to take on challenge after challenge while working with your allies. Hopefully, you and humanity will survive!

World War Z: Aftermath is currently on sale for 50% off. You can get the base version for $15, while the Aftermath version, which includes new game modes, campaigns, and even deeper progression systems, for $20. For a $5 difference, getting the Aftermath version is a no-brainer. On top of that, World War Z has been reported to run really well on the Steam Deck, so it could be a fantastic game to play wherever you are!
