Unfortunately, players are going to have to wait a bit longer to shatter some zombie Nazi skulls, with Rebellion’s upcoming Zombie Army VR getting a delay just days before its release.
In a post published across their social media accounts, the studio behind this year’s Sniper Elite: Resistance and Atomfall has announced that their VR exclusive title will not come out this Thursday, 22nd May. Zombie Army VR will now be released on Thursday, June 12th.
The delay pushes the release back by three weeks, which the team will use to “deliver the best possible experience for you at launch.”
Starting as a spin-off to Rebellion’s Sniper Elite series, most well-known for its grisly x-ray killcam, Zombie Army has had several entries over the years, and is now marching onto VR for the first time.
Here is a summary for Zombie Army VR.
“Zombie Hitler has been defeated, but the zombie hordes are still at large, and Europe remains in the throes of war. Following the story of Zombie Army, you return to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad fighting to end the apocalypse! 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 brings a new level of immersion to the nail-biting action. Use both hands to aim down the sights of your rifle and dual-wield pistols and submachine guns when you get up close and personal. You will also need to master reloading drills as the undead masses bear down on you.“
While deadhunters around the world will no doubt be disappointed by Zombie Army VR’s release date, Rebellion recently dropped a gameplay overview trailer, giving fans a good look at Zombie Army VR’s story and gameplay. Check it out and get ready to put those fascists back in the ground!
Zombie Army VR is available to PRE-ORDER NOW on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and PCVR via Steam.
