It\u2019s a four-player co-op shooter based in the universe of the movie, but it\u2019s effectively one massive horde mode game designed to be enjoyed with some teammates. It appears to be focused a lot more on fast-paced, adrenalin-pumping shoot-\u2018em-up action rather than being a well-rounded AAA title like <em>Days Gone <\/em>is, but horde-mode shooters definitely carry a lot of mass-appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to pre-order <em>World War Z<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=World%20War%20Z&amp;category=4&amp;utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_April_2019s_Biggest_Game_Releases&amp;utm_content=April_2019s_Biggest_Game_Releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"277\" height=\"53\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-536x105.png 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Check out <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/17\/Video+Games+&amp;+Accessories?utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_April_2019s_Biggest_Game_Releases&amp;utm_content=April_2019s_Biggest_Game_Releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">more gaming deals on Pricecheck here<\/span><\/a><\/span>; and keep up to date on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/category\/tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">the latest gaming happenings on the blog<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From some zombies to spine-breakers, here are our picks for the games arriving this month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[4119,1821,1601,4348,874,3059,792,4349],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mortal-Kombat-11.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23994"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23996,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23994\/revisions\/23996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
