World War Z cross-play between Xbox One and PC is available now, Playstation 4 coming soon

World War Z has announced it will have cross-play starting today between Xbox One and PC with Playstation 4 coming soon after.

This comes from the latest post on the Focus Home Interactive forums.  

We’re thrilled to release the Horde Mode Z Update today! The new mode throws waves of progressively challenging enemies at teams of up to four, with increasingly bigger rewards for surviving. In between rounds, you can upgrade your firepower, defenses, and scavenge for free pickups like heavy weapons and medkits. In Horde Mode Z, you can play as any character you like. In addition, today’s update adds The Bomber, a special new zombie that drops an explosive when downed, which you will only have a few precious seconds to disarm. Make sure you take it down with precise limb shots or it will detonate. Succeed and you will be rewarded with valuable loot. For a full list of the changes, check out the patch notes at the bottom of this page. In order to make sure everything is up to standards on release, we’ve decided to push… crossplay and the new cosmetics to early next year. This will be the final Season 2 update and will of course be completely free.

World War Z is available right now on Xbox Game Pass so for you all of you Left 4 Dead fans, like myself, this is a great experience that will hold you over until we see more of the upcoming Blood 4 Blood.

In today’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Nintendo showed off the new melee battle royale game Ninjala.

Originally revealed at E3 2018 by developer GungHo Online Entertainment, Ninjala features eight players going head to head to score the most points in a battle royale format.

Players play as ninjas with abilities given to them by chewing gum, allowing them to perform ninjitsu. These ninjas will use weapons ranging from a bat, to a club, and even a yo-yo to combat other fighters and rack up the highest score.

The best part about the game is that it’ll be free to play when it releases! That means anyone with a Nintendo Switch can dive right in when Ninjala releases in May, later this year.

For all things Nintendo, we’ll keep you updated here at Final Weapon!

Nintendo announced during its Direct Mini today that Good Job, a brand new game from the company, is out now! You can learn more about the game below.

As the clumsy child of a CEO, you must climb the corporate ladder one office-themed puzzle at a time! Complete puzzles in multiple ways as you experiment with the interactive environments—a projector can be wheeled gently through an electric door…or catapulted through the wall. So toil (or tumble) your way to the top and make your father proud!

Your job duties can vary from fixing the office’s internet connection to cleaning up experimental goo. You may bump into your coworkers or knock over a priceless item or two in the process, but as long as you get the job done you’re one step closer to the executive suite! True star employees can also replay stages to try to earn a higher score by maximizing speed while minimizing damages.

Pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend (or coworker) for some help solving puzzles, divvying up tasks, or collecting in-game outfits. Whether you’re playing alone or with a friend, Good Job! turns sometimes-mundane office dealings into a puzzling and hilarious take on climbing the corporate ladder.
The dress code at your father’s company is…flexible to say the least. By exploring the office’s many departments, you can find over 100 in-game outfits hidden throughout. These looks range from business casual to Viking chic, so you can leave the suit at home and let your true colors show!
