Days Gone is a single player only experience, but World War Z developer Saber Interactive has gone on record claiming that it pitched a mode to Sony which was declined. This is probably what it would have looked like: players versus players versus zombies. The clip reveals a class-based competitive environment, whereby you’ll need to fend off an opposing team – and swarms of the undead.
There will be five modes in World War Z at launch, and here’s the full lineup:
- Scavenge Raid: players race to secure resources across the map to win
- Vaccine Hunt: players must pick up and hold an object to earn point for the team
- Swarm Deathmatch: two teams go head-to-head in a bitter fight to the end
- Swarm Domination: capture zones to earn points and win a team victory
- King of the Hill: capture a single hill, then control it to earn victory points
In addition to competitive multiplayer, the title will also feature a four-player co-op mode, where you’ll need to fight off swarms of the infected. Do you think modes like this could have enhanced Sony Bend’s upcoming open world exclusive, or are you happy that the platform holder stuck to its guns and focused on the release’s single player?

I'm just hoping that the PVE is the Left 4 dead style gameplay, i've been missing for ages...
Multiplayer for the sake of it only hurts the experience.
Humans, eh? The world is overrun with zombies and they still want to shoot each other in the face
Still glad Sony said no. Sorry, not sorry.
nope days gone don't need multiplayer.thank God single player for the win.wordup son
Personally, I think it may have been cool to get 'both' in a single one off price. Its quite cool though that those who want a Single player game only though can buy Days Gone and World War Z is for those looking for an online Co-op/MP game - also this is available on Xbox and PC too - unlike Days Gone - so more players have access to it - whether they buy it or not is a different matter.
In all honesty, I am looking forward to Days Gone (pre-ordered the Special Edition - the one without the statue) and not really all that interested in World War Z. If they had included everything that WWZ are offering in Days Gone, I would still be buying it but just for the SP.
I think it could have worked well as a co-op/MP separate modes within the Days Gone world and the 'lore' could show how other places had been affected in different maps within the online component - separate areas but still within the Days Gone lore. A bit more variety in the enemy types this way too.
WWZ looks like it could be a lot of Fun with friends but not something I would go out of my way to buy unless a lot of my friends buy it too but Days Gone is being bought regardless of what my friends buy...
I don't think bend want another studio adding multiplayer component for their games, bend will do it themselves when they're ready. Possibly in days gone 2.
happy they said no
I strongly prefer single player games but if a multiplayer component would be added separately, without diluting the experience, then the more gameplay the better.
Looks good and I’m likely to purchase... L4D (which it’s being compared to) will always have a place in my heart... so this may help fill the void. Not bothered no multiplayer on Days Gone, probably a good thing, more focus on main event...
Last of us 2 multiplayer, that’s something I’m getting excited about ...I still own ps3 because of the multiplayer on “the last of us” . a well underrated gem of a game that is, in my opinion... a few rounds of that gives me a cardio workout like no other...
i hate online trophies in Multiplayer on games that has it. i has about 11,258 trophies with 64 platinum trophies including God of war, spider-man, Detroit Become Human, Uncharted 4, Uncharted Lost Legacy and more
