The multiplayer zombie shooter will arrive on April 16th and it's honestly looking pretty polished based on recent previews. This latest trailer focuses on laying out all the details on the gameplay and what your typical play session will look like once you get your hands on this title.

Among the topics discussed are locations, their missions, stealth mechanics, AI, and combat. Throughout the discussion, you can check out various clips from each mission showing off firefights against swarms of incoming undead.

World War Z is all about going up against swarms of fast-moving zombies with all the firepower you can get your hands on. Featuring maps set in New York, Moscow, Jerusalem, and Tokyo, each area features its own group of survivors with their own story and objectives.

There are six classes in total for you to build a team with: Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, and Exterminator. The game will allow you to combine the strengths of each class within your team to survive on maps featuring procedural enemy and item spawns, with the ultimate goal of giving the players a highly replayable experience.

World War Z will arrive on April 16th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via the Epic Games Store). Pre-orders are now available.
