The undead genre has recently seen renewed interest, particularly with the unexpected addition of Dead Island 2 to Xbox Game Pass. This has brought attention back to the well-established Zombie Army series by Rebellion, which is preparing to launch its latest entry, marking the series' debut on virtual reality (VR) platforms.
Despite having a dedicated fan base, the Zombie Army Trilogy, released in 2015, received mixed feedback. Fans generally regarded it as adequately entertaining but not particularly groundbreaking. Similarly, Zombie Army 4 encountered a divided response from both critics and audiences, as reflected in its Metacritic scores.
Yet, the upcoming Zombie Army VR game might just be the twist the series needs to truly set it apart. A recently released trailer and accompanying press release reveal how this installment intends to leverage the unique capabilities of VR technology. Gamers can look forward to immersive experience, with the ability to aim their rifles using both hands or wield multiple firearms simultaneously for more dynamic combat.
In addition to introducing a brand new campaign designed specifically for VR, Zombie Army VR promises to support cooperative gameplay and bring back the series' signature X-ray feature, offering a new dimension of tactical engagement.
This fresh approach could very well redefine the Zombie Army series, offering fans and newcomers alike an unparalleled experience in surviving the undead apocalypse.
