World War Z is coming to the Epic Store

World War Z was once announced near the end of 2017 as a four-player survival-shooter inspired by means of the "blockbuster movie franchise" of the equal name. It's being developed by using Saber Interactive and was originally expected to be out this year, even though the August gameplay trailer above updated that launch goal to 2019. And today, Saber dropped every other little surprise: There are a couple of interesting matters about this update. First, the Epic Store listing is stay (it's no longer available for preorder yet, but it is there) but there may be nevertheless no sign of it on Steam.

Second, and extra wild-conspiracy-minded, the World War Z website has been changed: As you can see by means of way of the ever-so-handy Wayback machine, it used to indicate that the recreation is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Steam, however now says PS4, Xbox One, and PC. That doesn't necessarily mean that World War Z may not be headed to Steam as nicely as Epic—it could be sincerely that Saber does not favor to be  list person PC platforms, even though doing so would enable it to hyperlink to separate shop pages, or that it is nevertheless working things out with Valve. It's additionally sensible to think that if it was going to be an Epic exclusive, you would see an Epic Store brand there instead. But swapping out the acquainted Steam piston for that bold, staid, wonderful PC logo does point toward a attention of the Epic Store's conceivable as a official competitor to Steam, and that in itself is a outstanding turn of events. It's one thing for major publishers like EA and Activision to keep their big releases on their own proprietary platforms, however something else totally to see mid-range builders making a show of taking their wares elsewhere.

I've reached out to Saber Interactive to inquire about whether or not World War Z will appear on Steam as well as the Epic Store, and will update if I obtain a reply.
