Controversial developer Hammerpoint Interactive has revealed that their online zombie survival title The War Z will now be known as Infestation: Survivor Stories due to "a result of some confusion and trademark issues with a similarly titled property."

After being taken off Steam due to many of the listed features that defied the realistic state of the game and then consequently put back on two months later, The War Z has had its fair share of the controversial limelight.

To help better understand the choice behind the name change, community manager Kewk has revealed to the game's forums that "while we were reluctant to rename the game so long after launch, especially with nearly 1 million registered players, it was ultimately decided to be in the best interest of our existing community as well as future players in order to eliminate confusion."

While the name may be changing, Hammerpoint Interactive ensures that those still playing will be able to go about their daily zombie slaying without any major changes to the way they play.

LOL and when people search for the new name they wont see all the bad press from the old name.

Why cant this game just die peacefully... Dont give it a new name, just abandon the dam thing!

When i saw movie posters for world war Z i wondered if there would be legal issues.
