Oh wow, okay, have you ever had that feeling where you’re just minding your own business and then, bam! Zombies! Yeah, so Saber Interactive, those folks who blew our minds with that 2019 shooter, World War Z, are diving headfirst into VR. I’m talking swarming undead right on your Quest and SteamVR headsets starting August 12th. Mark your calendars. Or don’t.
I have to say, the idea of a whole new VR game built from scratch just for VR makes me think of… cake? Layers and flavors and all that. Why did I think of cake? Anyway. They’re doing this thing where they recreate the frantic chaos from the original game, minus the third-person view.
Now, picture this, you’re alone (scary, right?) and it’s first-person perspective. New York, Tokyo, Marseille. All lined up like chapters in a strange travel diary. So, yeah, forget multiplayer for a bit — it’s just you and the horde.
And what’s with the 200 zombies? I didn’t even know I wanted to face that many at once until now. Plus, there are seven characters to choose from, battling it out with a bunch of weapons and perks—sounds intense. Oh, and levels of difficulty. Maybe start on easy? Or go all in. Your call.
But here’s the kicker — these zombies aren’t just the shufflers we usually see. They adapt. Think about it, they’re like that one character in a movie who’s too smart for their own good. The kind that makes you yell at the screen. I digress.
Did I mention August 12th? You can pre-order right this second on the Horizon Store for all you Quest enthusiasts, or grab it on Steam if you’re a PC VR person. It’s 20 bucks. Golden Skin Pack if you pre-order, which sounds fancy, I guess.
In any case—wait, was I talking about cake before?
