Whoa, okay, where do I even start with this bit of madness? So, Saber Interactive, the brains behind the shooter World War Z (yeah, the one from 2019), has decided to throw us into a whole new VR chaos. Yep, the zombie swarm is coming to Quest and SteamVR headsets on August 12th. Mark your calendars, folks!
Right, so, they’re not just slapping the old game into VR. Nope. It’s something fresh—made-for-VR fresh. Imagine reimagining all that intense, zombie-mowing action. That’s what they claim, anyway. Whether it holds up? Guess we’ll see.
Here’s the twist. Unlike the original, where you peered over your soldier’s shoulder (third-person, if you’re fancy), this VR plunge is tossing you right into first-person chaos. Solo campaign, too. Just you and the undead hordes trampling through New York, Tokyo, and Marseille. Crazy, right?
And get this: they say you’re looking at 200 zombies trying to gnaw your virtual head off at once. Each gameplay element’s been given a good shake for VR. They’ve got seven characters for you to mess around with… oh, and weapons, perks, the whole shebang really. Three difficulty levels if you’re feeling particularly brave or foolish, I suppose.
But wait, there’s more! The zombies aren’t your regular doughy brain munchers. Apparently (here’s the kicker), they adapt. So, as you’re trying to outsmart them, they’re busy figuring out how to nosh on you more efficiently. Special infected ones are lurking just to make your day a whole lot worse. Nice touch, huh?
Okay, deep breath. All this zombie-tastic VR craziness drops on August 12th. You can already toss money at it through Quest’s Horizon Store and Steam if you’re on PC VR. Twenty bucks, no pre-order deal, but hey, order early and they’ll toss in a flashy ‘Golden Skin Pack’ for your virtual arsenal. Eh, shiny weapons, small victories.
So, there it is. Zombie chaos in VR. No idea if it’s genius or a digital disaster waiting to happen. Buckle up!
