'Arizona Sunshine II' Gameplay Showcase And Reddit AMA Planned for Later This Week

by Rainier on Nov. 15, 2023 @ 11:06 a.m. PST

Accompanied by an all-new friend, Arizona Sunshine II takes you back to the limb-strewn deserts of post-apocalyptic Arizona.

Dust off your shotgun and sharpen your machete, Arizona Sunshine II 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. Players will experience the thrill of next-gen VR gunplay, introducing full manual reloading and new ranged weapons like scorching flamethrowers to expand on an already fan-favorite arsenal. An all-new melee system introduces weapons like machetes, crowbars and pickaxes to bring the apocalypse up-close and personal as you experience realistic takedowns through advanced gore and mutilation. As players scavenge and craft their ultimate loadout, the various ways to dispatch the Freds are plentiful as even severed limbs can be wielded to whack a Fred.

Arizona Sunshine II 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 II takes full advantage of the latest VR technology, forging a new frontier in blood-pumping, zombie-blasting action.

Vertigo Games announced a Gameplay Showcase for Arizona Sunshine 2.
