Developer Vertigo Games has announced that it is remaking its previously VR-exclusive shooter co-op, Arizona Sunshine, for flat-screen platforms. The title was announced with a trailer during the Future Games Show: Summer Showcase 2026 event, and will be coming to PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out the trailer below.
Compared to the original Arizona Sunshine’s first-person perspective, the remake will be a third-person shooter that throws players into a variety of levels against hordes of zombies. The title will feature plenty of weapons to choose from, including pistols, assault rifles, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers. Players can also make use of grenades when the zombie hordes get too large for just guns to handle.
In addition to single-player, Arizona Sunshine will support online and split-screen co-op multiplayer. Single-player gameplay will see players accompanied by their faithful dog, Buddy, who helps take down dangerous zombies in his own way. Along with this, the game will also allow players to play as Buddy, which wasn’t previously possible in the game’s original VR release.
Whether the remake of Arizona Sunshine will also include content that was released as Arizona Sunshine 2 back in 2023 remains to be seen.
The original Arizona Sunshine was released all the way back in 2016, and saw quite a bit of positive critical response at the time, with many praising the title for its fun gunplay. It also got upgraded in 2024 for more modern hardware, featuring improved visuals, physics, and a plethora of new toys to play around with.
No release date for Arizona Sunshine has been announced yet.
