Earlier this year, indie video game developer and publisher Rebellion announced it was bringing the “Zombie Army” franchise to VR with an all-new heart-pounding VR experience, “Zombie Army VR.” On Wednesday, Rebellion released a new trailer teasing the game’s story campaign, which can be watched here.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the “Zombie Army” series and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length, story-driven campaign alone or with an ally, you will have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and more. VR also brings a new level of immersion to the nail-biting action of the “Zombie Army” series, and you will need to get to grips with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your sidearm with a submachine gun, and master reloading drills. Keeping your head and staying calm as you face hordes of enemies (including Armoured Giants, Suiciders, Sniper Zombies, and other reanimated baddies) will be crucial to succeed.
Developed in partnership with XR Games, “Zombie Army VR” will be the first entry in the “Zombie Army” franchise to appear on VR headsets and offers fans a new level of spine-chilling immersion. The game will launch in 2024 on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift, and PC headsets via Steam.
