After a succesful launch, co-op shooter World War Z is steadily adding new features to the base game offering. The latest update, called Six Skulls, introduces a brand new difficulty level that makes the hordes even more ruthless.
The new Extreme difficulty level added in the Six Skulls update is available for all existing World War Z missions and emphasizes resource conservation and teamwork even more. On top of that, completing all levels on the new difficulty mode yields unique rewards.
