Oxford, February 22nd, 2024 - Rebellion, one of the world's most successful independent video game developers and publishers, has today announced a new heart-pounding VR game, Zombie Army VR. Bringing the Zombie Army franchise to VR for the first time, the game will let you experience the fear, thrill and spine-chilling tension of the zombie apocalypse through the immersion of your headset. Coming 2024, Zombie Army VR will be available on PlayStation® VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro, Oculus Rift, and PC headsets via Steam.
Developed in partnership with XR Games, the reveal trailer for Zombie Army VR is available to watch here.
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 that is 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 the sights of your rifle 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 if you are 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 the range, accuracy, scope, and ammo capacity of your weapons.

• New spine-chilling campaign
• Authentic World War II weaponry and impactful melee combat
