The added story parts were a prologue which shows the first parts of the outbreak repression and reveals a character named West Clovers, the ending was also extended to show what had happened to the characters at the end of the anime.

Setting
After a Bio-weapon experiment has gone wrong, the world was turned into a post-apocolyptic wasteland after many attempts to stop the outbreak as 12 years passed by since the beginning of the outbreak.

There are seven playable characters in the game, West (prologue and multiplayer only), Stella, Jun, Jason, Bryan, Sheryl, and Alan, each with their own skills and abilities. West is a soldier of the AFA, he is equiped with armor and a gas mask which gives him a strong defense and immune to gas and poison; Stella is a super soldier who used to be part of the AFA, she is skilled with guns and has inhuman strengths; Jun is a photographer, he is skilled with melee weapons and could gather intellegence quickly; Jason is a Chinese martial artist, he does not need a weapon to fight and could distract enemies easily if needed; Bryan is a cook, he can help the team recover energy and could handle large weapons; Sheryl was a nurse, she can help the team recover health and last the longest alone; Alan is an AFA commander, he can hold the most weapons with him and uses explosives. There is an eighth character, Alice, who cannot be played but is necessary to be defended. Alongside single-player mode there is a two-player local and six-player online multiplayer co-op and a 12-player online versus where players could choose to be human or Fallen and fight each other in a map.
