Press release:
Rotterdam (NL), May 24th, 2023.
Today publisher and developer Vertigo Games are proud to announce “Arizona Sunshine 2“(which is coming to PCVR and PSVR2 in 2023), the sequel to the best-selling VR zombie-shooter Arizona Sunshine. Revealed during Sony Interactive Entertainment’s 2023 PlayStation Showcase, “Arizona Sunshine 2” is the next-gen sequel to the fan-favorite VR apocalypse, and packs even more gore-geous zombie action!
Welcome back to sun-kissed, zombified Arizona, where you can take on the form of our dark-humored protagonist once more to set out on the next chapter of a VR journey in search of answers. In a post-apocalyptic world where every bullet counts, experience the thrill of realistic combat as you wield all-new and fan-favorite weapons—from shotguns to machetes and flamethrowers.
An all-new melee combat system will push you to the very brink of your limits as you slay Freds (the zombies, in case you didn’t know) like never before in full, next-gen mutilation glory.
Narrated by the unmistakable quips of our dark-humored protagonist, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a direct sequel to the original that sets you on an all-new limb-strewn adventure in search of answers. And what’s better than braving the end of the f*cking world? Surviving it with your new best friend—Buddy. Not only is Buddy your four-legged companion through thick and thin, he’s also the goodest boy and will help take down those pesky Freds for you.
In this (surprisingly light-hearted) story of a profoundly lonely man desperate to find another living person in post-apocalyptic Arizona, our hero and Buddy embark on a quest for a new sense of purpose, seeking the joy that the wasteland around them cannot provide.
Arizona Sunshine 2 takes full advantage of the latest VR technology, forging a new frontier in blood-pumping, zombie-blasting action:
● Form an unexpected friendship as you set out on a cinematic VR journey of intense survival
● Experience the thrill of combat by physically wielding a diverse range of weapons, from shotguns to machetes—and even flamethrowers
● Explore gore-geous, next-gen VR environments, all the way to the end of the f*cking world
● Discover all the ways to slay a Fred through a brand-new, next-gen mutilation and gore system
With plenty of additional features to be revealed later this year.
Arizona Sunshine 2 is coming to VR platforms in 2023, and is now available for wishlisting on Steam and PS VR2.
