Indie video game developer and publisher Rebellion has announced that the “Zombie Army” franchise is coming to VR in a new heart-pounding VR experience, “Zombie Army VR.” The game will let you experience the fear, thrill, and spine-chilling tension of the zombie apocalypse through the immersion of your headset. The game will launch later in 2024 on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro, Oculus Rift, and PC headsets via Steam.
Following the story of the “Zombie Army” series, in “Zombie Army VR,” you return to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad hunting down zombie war criminals. You will fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg and help Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
VR brings a new level of immersion to the nail-biting action of the “Zombie Army” series. Use both hands to aim down your rifle’s sights and line up that perfect shot at range. When things get up close and personal, use each hand independently to dual-wield pistols and submachine guns. You will also need to master reloading drills as the undead masses bear down on you from all sides. Overcoming your nerves and operating under pressure will be crucial to succeed.
To help send the undead scourge back into the abyss, you will have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and more. You will also need to earn XP to level up your Deadhunter as you fight zombie-infested 1940s Europe and use Weapon Upgrade kits to modify your weapons’ range, accuracy, scope, and ammo capacity.
Check out the “Zombie Army VR” trailer below, and keep an eye out for the game on your VR headset of choice later this year.
