News: If you thought that World War Z wasn’t chaotic enough to begin with you can jump into this new difficulty for a whole new challenge.

World War Z has received an update today introducing a new difficulty level. It is called the “Six Skulls” update and includes the six skull extreme difficulty setting for all of the chapters that have been released so far. With this new level of difficulty, you definitely have to play a lot smarter with your resource conservation, a strategy to cover every corner and be really good at quickly eliminating the horde as they are rushing towards you. If you can make it through this difficulty there will be some unique rewards available to you, however, Saber Interactive has not mentioned what those rewards will be.

The “Six Skulls” update follows the recent addition of “The Undead Sea” patch, which opened up a totally new mission aboard an undead-infested ferry in Tokyo, as well as a terrifying new zombie type to battle. In the near future, the team plans to release “The Big Update,” free DLC which will feature a new weekly challenge mode, as well as a number of weapon variants, character skins, and accessories.

Powered by Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine, World War Z unleashes upon players hundreds of fast-moving, bloodthirsty zombies at a time, able to move and strike as one collective herd, as well as break off as individual attackers. You can choose from six distinct classes and an arsenal of deadly weapons, explosives, turrets, and traps. You will have to outlive the dead through intense four-player co-op campaign missions around the world, including New York, Jerusalem, Moscow and Tokyo, and battle both zombies and real human opponents in competitive, team-based Players vs. Players vs. Zombies (PvPvZ) multiplayer.

World War Z is currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think. Have you picked up World War Z yet? If not, will this new update get you to pick it up?
