Over 100,000 people have signed up for the upcoming beta for the zombie survival game The War Z . Announced less than two weeks ago in an exclusive interview with IGN , The War Z has proven to surprise even the team. "The response in the first week since we announced the game has been incredible and it’s totally inspired the team,” said senior game designer Eric Nordin.

The War Z is currently in an alpha state,with no firm date given for the start of the beta. While gameplay-wise the team admits that The War Z has more than a little in common with the incredibly popular mod DayZ, The War Z is not a mod, but a full retail product that will cost $30. You can sign up for a chance to be in the closed beta on the official website. For a ton of information and images of the game, check out our lengthy and detail-rich interview.
