From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Army_4:_Dead_War):
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a third-person video game developed and published by Rebellion Developments. It is a sequel to the 2015 compilation game Zombie Army Trilogy, itself a spin-off to the Sniper Elite series. It was released on 4 February 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows, and 1 May 2020 for Stadia.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a third-person shooter video game.[1] The game is set in the year 1946, after the events of Zombie Army Trilogy, one year after Adolf Hitler was defeated by the Resistance and banished to hell. Even though the Hellmouth that Hitler opened was closed, the Zombie Menace continued, with innumerable number of the Nazi dead overwhelming and pushing the Allies out of Germany and back into territories such as France and Italy. Without a leader, most of the Living dead are mostly weak and can be easily destroyed as long as their numbers were low, but rumours spread about a cult ensuring that the horde as some cohesion/control. Most of the known world is now referring to the conflict against the Zombie menace as the "Dead War".
The story begins in Milan, where the players do battle against invading hordes of the dead attacking safe houses, only to learn that the dead are beginning to show some form of intelligence, enough to use weapons such as handguns and SMGs, but not as competent as living humans. Eventually, they are forced to retreat deeper into Italy as more dangerous versions of those the protagonists faced in the original game with new appearances and powers, and deadly new foes which appear as a mix of demonic mutants and vengeful spirits. Even worse, they also begin to encounter hellish versions of destroyed German vehicles and armour, appearing as hell-powered abominations fuelled by flesh and magic. They travel to survivor brigade locations in Sardina, Croatia, Naples and finally Rome.
The protagonists discover that Hitler was not killed after the final battle in Germany, only being banished to Hell rather than destroyed. Using his Death Cult, the maddened dictator began using Hell's own energy to build himself a new army, creating multiple weapons of mass devastation while also licking his wounds. To stop this threat, the survivors travel to Hell itself, sabotaging the dead's war factories and recovering the Sagarmata Relic from the Trilogy to end the Furher once and for all. After Dr. Efram Schwaiger returns the players back to the surface at the price of his own life, they then must do battle against Hitler one last time in Rome, where they destroy a massive Hell Machine, made by Hitler as his personal vehicle, then beating the Zombie Leader to an inch of his life before destroying him for good with the Relic.
Even with Hitler finally dead, the Survivor Brigade must chase after his cult and the remaining Zombies, knowing that with the Hellmount closed and Hitler gone, the dead cannot no longer replenish their numbers, bringing the end to the Dead War ever closer.
The game was developed by Rebellion Developments.[3]
