OP Productions has announced that their zombie survival MMO The War Z was no longer allowed to be called that thanks to its similarity to World War Z. As such, the game will be known as Infestation: Survivor Stories.
The game has endured a checkered past. After making its Kickstarter goal, the game had its listing on Steam changed when gamers complained The War Z didn’t have some of the features advertised, such as rentable private servers, a skills system or a friends list. It later suffered database attacks in April 2013.
Since its launch back in October 2012, the game features almost 1 million registered players. With the name change, the game’s official site has changed to www.infestationmmo.com.
