It's those players that Titov says Outbreak is for, though he hopes others might be willing to give it a try. Both games' Steam forums are full of threads asking about private servers or emulator projects, and Outbreak's Facebook page has several thousand commenters eager to jump into the alpha. Despite the controversy and hate, The War Z and its successors, like Shattered Skies, obviously resonated with a small number of players. That so many people have and continue to play one of the PC's most condemned games is fascinating. The Infestation Facebook page for Thailand, for example, has nearly 500,000 subscribers and is still surprisingly active. Though Steamspy is not as accurate due to changes in how Steam publicizes user data, it estimates upwards of 11 million people have played Infestation (or one of its spin-offs) on Steam, and Titov says roughly 60 percent of the game's audience actually comes from Southeast Asia, outside of Steam, where its free-to-play incarnation continues to be popular. It might be hard to believe that The War Z is that popular, but Titov appears to be right. What do we, as players, not as developers, want to see in a game? That's Outbreak." So we started thinking about what we can do. And a lot of those players have been messaging us and sending emails and talking on the forums-everywhere on social media-and pretty much saying, guys, we want an updated The War Z. "It's like 25 million people that have and still play The War Z for eight years now. "The War Z has a huge, huge playerbase," Titov says.
and pretty much saying, guys, we want an updated The War Z. Sitting down with Titov, I had to know: Why in God's name would someone want to sell an unfinished zombie survival game in 2020?Ī lot of those players have been messaging us. You can only spawn, loot, and die so many times before it becomes a kind of Sisphyean torture. Six years ago a game like this would make sense, but, ignoring Titov's contentious history, the thought of playing another incomplete zombie survival game is exhausting.
"And, while zombies in Outbreak are actually much smarter and more fun to deal with and there is a much bigger PVE component to the game than there was in our previous games, we still believe that they are just a side dish to your primary piece of the meal, which will be PvP." "And, yes, there are zombies," Titov says. The team at Free Reign Entertainment is even hoping to add group raids similar to Destiny 2 that will take players to instanced zones that focus purely on PvE shooting.
