SoulAssembly announced it’s getting ready to release the long-awaited COD Zombies-inspired co-op shooter, called Drop Dead: The Cabin, which is now slated to release on Quest in February 2023.

The studio released a new developer update video during UploadVR’s Winter Showcase yesterday, showing off some of the game’s features, such as remixed pickups, different enemies, and how to survive ‘The Cabin’ by keeping lights and communications on by collecting fuel cells.

Check out the video below, which also includes a fresh look at gameplay:

The objective is not only to fend off waves of zombies, but also to keep the fuel flowing as you await extraction. With plenty of chaos at hand, it looks like you’ll need a friend with good aim by your side as Drop Dead’s cast of different zomboids rip down your defenses and lurch into the confines of the house.
