World War Z Episodes List
In World War Z the campaign is separated into episodes which feature certain characters. Each episode tells the story of a location and a group of survivors trying to flee the zombie hordes. Below I have put together a World War Z episodes list.
Episode 1: New York
“AS US Army helicopters lead the infected swarms out of Manhattan towards a massive kill zone in the Bronx, four stranded New Yorkers attempt a risky escape through the subway to an evacuation center on the Hudson River.” This episode includes the following levels:
- Descent: “Left to die by the army helicopters buzzing overhead, four New Yorkers have no choice but to fight their way to freedom. Rumor tells of a shady character who will get them out of the city on a subway train – for a price.”
- Tunnel Vision: “Huge maintenance doors block the train’s path north. The driver’s associated on the inside was supposed to be on hand to open the doors, but the radio is silent. The only option is to leave the train and go in on foot.”
- Hell and High Water: “The scream of countless swarms rises above the thundering of high powered ballistics. As the army wages total war on the zombies, four desperate survivors make a dash for the Hudson in hopes of escaping the madness.”
The characters in this episode are: Angel Flores, Tashaun Burnell, Bunko Tatsumi, and Arnette Larkin. Completing the New York episode on any difficult unlocks the Escape Trophy/Achievement.
Episode 2: Jerusalem
“A group of survivors receive a distress call from a man linked to a classified superweapon. They embark on a journey through the Holy City and across the Judean desert to a military bunker that may hold the key to survival.” This episode includes the following levels:

- Dead Sea Stroll: “An auto air defense system guards the Rah-ahm base. The only way to get close is on the ground. With infected swarms roaming the desert, finding cover is the first priority.
- Tech Support: “Not on any map, the Rah-ahm base is the command center for a classified satellite defense system. The base went dark when the virus hit, but if Greengold can get inside he may be able to get the weapon online.”

These are all the current episodes in World War Z. I expect Focus Home to drop some more episodes over the life of this game. We don’t know when or what, but Tom Butler has mentioned there will be a Roadmap for the game coming soon.
