Welcome to the sun-kissed, zombified state of Arizona.
Sharpen your machete, reload your shotgun, and bring your friends. The award-winning, smash-hit Arizona Sunshine® series brings its explosive third-person and sun-baked cooperative action to friends everywhere.
Built on the foundation of series’ signature brutal gameplay and the frantic but surprisingly touching story of Arizona Sunshine VR 2, Arizona Sunshine delivers brand-new ways to survive the heart-pounding, limb-severing, dark-humored apocalypse in narrative-driven solo play or chaotic cooperative play where every encounter can spiral out of control.
Play With Friends!
Playing as Sunny, our dark-humored survivor who has spent way too much time alone in the desert talking to the undead he calls “Fred,” you’ll embark on a sun-drenched, gore-splattered road trip across Arizona with your fiercely loyal, zombie-chomping dog Buddy. It’s a witty, frantic story about survival, loneliness, and the bond between a man and his dog.
Sure, surviving alone is fine, but why not share the trauma? Grab a friend, a pizza, and a controller for chaotic split-screen cooperative play, or jump into a two-player zombie-slaying sesh online. Blast through massive hordes using fan-favorite and all-new weapons, from shotguns and machetes to flamethrowers and more. Firefights break down fast, split-second saves become routine, and nothing ever goes according to plan.
Buddy isn’t just your loyal four-legged companion through thick and thin, he’s also the goodest boy in the apocalypse and more than happy to help tear through those pesky Freds alongside you. For the first time ever, Buddy is fully playable in coop, unlocking a whole new way to experience the apocalypse together.
Arizona Sunshine is fully reimagined in third-person for explosive action and accessible cooperative gameplay. It delivers over-the-top zombie combat, outrageous customization, dark humor, and endless Fred-slaying chaos.
Key Features:
- Experience the award-winning zombie franchise reimagined in third-person.
- Forge an unexpected friendship during a journey full of intense survival.
- Survive solo or in two-player online and split-screen cooperative play.
- Play as Buddy for the first time ever in cooperative play.
- Blast through massive hordes as you wield weapons, from shotguns to machetes and flamethrowers with over-the-top action.
