After the domain name acquisition was discovered last week, it was only a matter of time before Arktos Entertainment made the announcement that ‘The War Z’ will officially be the next MMO from Hammerpoint Interactive.
Now the two companies have released a few details on the title, as well as a few screens that you can view below. As of right now the game has some unique gaming mechanics to set it apart from the average MMO.
At its heart, The War Z will be an intense RPG that will allow you team up with your friends regardless of the current server you are on. The game will of course have strong PvO and PvE gameplay elements as well. Players will get to choose between a ‘revivable’ “normal mode” and a perma-death “hardcore mode”.
At this time there is no subscriptions plans, though just like ‘The Secret World’ and other MMO’s that have been recently released, there will be a one-time purchasing fee.
The World Z is currently scheduled for fall 2012. You can signup for the closed beta program by visiting the official website.
