Original was fun but I'm not sure if this is a remaster or a second part.

Its a new game, discount if you own previous. Next gen upgrade free when it's done too.

 

[Killer8]

To be quite honest, this looks better than Back 4 Blood. Shooting mechanics don't look as floaty and the melee combat reminds me of Dead Rising. I'm in.

So I'm currently playing the Gamepass version of the original WWZ game but is this going to be a free (next-gen) update for that? Or will I have to purchase it? Or does the Gamepass version still get a visual update so it runs at 60fps (as I believe it doesn't currently).

Also will there be a physical PS5/Series X release of this game?

The developers of World War Z: Aftermath walk you through gameplay examples of what's new in the Aftermath edition of the game, including the new locations, new melee system, new weapons, first-person mode, and more. Aftermath will be released this Fall on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S supported via backward compatibility for now until they each get a free next-gen update next year to take advantage of the new consoles.

I’m still confused how to upgrade to this if you have the base game already.

The new World War Z: Aftermath free update brings a World War Z Aftermath Booster zombie type and daily challenges to the co-op zombie shooter. Check out the World War Z Aftermath trailer for a look at what to expect with the update, available now.

Armed with concentrated biosamples, the new World War Z Booster zombie type enhances all zombies around it, making them even deadlier.

Good stuff, although I'm holding out for the Nintendo Switch base version (no Aftermath though, as far as I can tell) in November. It's that kind of twitch/melee game that I just like playing away from the TV, so hopefully the port holds up with an acceptable level of trimmings.

The Cut and Mend update is available now on PC and consoles for World War Z: Aftermath, bringing the new sword melee weapon and ACW rifle variant, as well as the ability to quickly swap between different perk loadouts for each class, new items for the medkit slot like adrenaline, and more to the co-op zombie shooter game. Watch the trailer for a look at what to expect.
