Rebellion is gearing up to launch its debut virtual reality game from the Zombie Army series, which will soon be available on all major VR platforms. Set to roll out on May 22nd for Quest 2 and beyond, PSVR 2, and SteamVR devices, this latest installment invites you into the chaotic zombie-slaying world, placing you among the Deadhunters, an elite force battling to end the undead apocalypse.
The mission promises an adrenaline-packed journey as you navigate through hordes of the undead in the war-torn surroundings of Nuremberg. Your task? Assist the legendary leader, Captain Hermann Wolff, in reuniting with his lost family while you work tirelessly to save Europe from being overrun by zombies.
Rebellion describes it as a “full-length, story-driven campaign” that offers a solo experience or the option to team up with a friend in a two-player co-op mode. Fans of the franchise will be pleased to hear that they can expect an authentic World War II arsenal. You’ll have classics like sniper rifles, submachine guns, and pistols at your disposal, all of which can be dual-wielded and manually reloaded for that extra dose of realism.
Leveling up your Deadhunter by earning experience points gives players the opportunity to enhance their weaponry using Weapon Upgrade kits. These upgrades let you tweak range, accuracy, scope, and capacity, fine-tuning your gear to fight off waves of enemies.
Familiar foes such as Armored Giants, Suiciders, and Sniper Zombies make their daunting return, creating a varied enemy roster that keeps you on your toes. Fans of Rebellion’s previous works, like Sniper Elite VR, will appreciate the return of the dramatic X-ray Kill Cam, allowing for gripping slow-motion shots of your long-range takedowns.
For those eager to dive into this VR zombie adventure, Zombie Army VR is available for pre-order now. It can be found on the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and up, the PlayStation Store for PSVR 2, and on Steam for PC VR users. Excitingly, there’s a 10% discount off the regular $30 price tag, making it a deal you won’t want to miss.
