World War Z Coming to Nintendo Switch in November

It's been over a year since the announcement of the Switch version of (ported) World War Z , and now the game finally has a release date. Only a few weeks left...

Developer Saber Interactive has confirmed that World War Z will release on November 2, 2021, and pre-orders of the game will be available at all major retailers. Digital copies are now available for pre-order for an average price of $39.99, while the Deluxe Edition, which includes a lot of bonus content in the form of weapons and skins, costs more at $49.99.

The switch version of World War Z was announced back in April last year along with the Game of the Year Edition. At the time, Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch told IGN that porting World War Z to Switch was "the hardest thing" the studio has ever done. Surely this explains why we have been waiting for the direct release of the Switch port for so long.

World War Z was first released in April 2019. Right now, the game is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The major expansion World War Z: Aftermath will be released on September 19th. If you have the main game, you will have to pay half as much. The DLC includes new maps, weapons, monsters, a first-person mode, and a brand new melee system. Moreover, the version of World War Z: Aftermath for next generation consoles supports 4K and 60 FPS.

While cross-platform communication is supported between all other platforms, a spokesperson for Saber Interactive told GamesRadar+ that World War Z on Switch will not have this feature.
