Taking the action to a snow - crest Moscow , the cinematic “ Stories in Moscow ” laggard zooms in on an unnamed man and his three Comrade , conveniently explaining the game ’s four - thespian mechanics . The trailer , then , showcases the hordes of fast zombi swarming towards the group ’s defense as the bullets part flying . Gamers are tasked with keep their groundwork good or face the ira of being brim over by the undead , just like what happened in the motion picture .
It is a premiss that has been done 1,000 times before and it is n’t hard to spot the similarity betweenWorld War Zand the upcomingDays Gone- albeit with carbon monoxide gas - op play .
