Zombie MMO The War Z announced

Admit it, the thought of a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game themed around zombies sounds awesome. That’s one of the reasons why Day Z, the very rough but totally engrossing mod for ARMA II has been getting all this love over the past few months. Anyway, it turns out there’s a new zombie MMO called The War Z in development from a relatively new development studio called Hammerpoint Interactive as well. So, yay!

According to the official press release, The War Z is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the undead freely roam the land. As one of the many survivors, players must survive by any means necessary, be it using stealth, cunning or brute force.

You’ll have to carefully account for commodities like food and water along with weapons that can help you fend off the undead. Like most RPGs out there, players will be able to upgrade their skills, learn new abilities, and even buy better items using in-game cash/gold.

Here’s a quick rundown of the game’s features:

The War Z will release sometime in 2012 exclusively for the PC.
