Vertigo Games has announced the upcoming release of a remake for Arizona Sunshine, set to launch on October 17. The remake aims to elevate the original VR game with updated graphics and enhanced gameplay mechanics.
Arizona Sunshine was originally released in 2016 and quickly became a popular title in the VR gaming community, known for its immersive zombie-slaying action set in a post-apocalyptic version of the southwestern United States. The remake of the game is designed to build on this foundation by offering improved visuals and gameplay experiences for modern VR platforms.
Key features of the remake include a significant upgrade in graphics, described as “GORE-geous,” which aims to enhance the visual experience of battling the undead. The game will also introduce next-gen VR combat and weapons, providing players with a more physically engaging experience. This includes the ability to wield a variety of weapons, from shotguns to machetes, in a more realistic and tactile manner.
The remake will also feature a brand-new mutilation and gore system, allowing players to discover various ways to defeat zombies, referred to in the game as “Fred.” Additionally, the game will include all original downloadable content (DLC) and updates, such as the Dead Man DLC, The Damned DLC, and various location updates like the Old Mine and Trailer Park.
Multiplayer enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Arizona Sunshine® Remake will support co-op gameplay, allowing up to four players to team up in campaign mode or the multiplayer Horde mode. The developers have noted that more players mean more zombies, increasing the challenge and intensity of the game.
For existing fans of the game, Vertigo Games is offering a discounted upgrade path. Players who already own the original Arizona Sunshine® will be able to upgrade to the remake at a reduced price, provided they have the original game installed on their platform.
