Arizona Sunshine by Vertigo Games is a great game. We liked it so much, in fact, that we awarded it the designation of our favorite VR game of 2016. The complete single player campaign mode, cooperative multiplayer support, and addictive horde mode delivered a lot of content to a game that was already overflowing with fun and engaging gameplay mechanics.
At CES 2017 in Las Vegas, NV this week, we caught a glimpse of some potential new content in the works for the zombie-slaying shooter. Outside of the Intel booth area on the show floor, there is a short teaser video playing that shows someone on a turret mowing down waves of zombies. We can see that it’s set in a post-apocalyptic version of the Las Vegas strip (appropriate because it’s at CES in Vegas right now) as opposed to the Arizona desert featured in the core Arizona Sunshine game.
On-screen text mentions the need to collect packages, which alludes to a potentially objective-oriented gameplay loop, rather than the pure survival-based horde mode that’s already in the game. One of our only issues with the shooter as it exists right now is the lack of additional maps in horde mode, but if this is a whole new experience called Undead Valley, that would certainly alleviate some of those issues.
We know that this mode supports up to four players at once, just like horde mode, and it was shown running on an Oculus Rift with Touch at the event. We don’t know anything else at this time, but we’ve reached out to Vertigo Games for more details on what Undead Valley is and how it factors into the content strategy for the game moving forward.
Do you have any questions about this potential new game mode? Let us know in the comments and we’ll get to the bottom of it at CES this week in Las Vegas.
