New Zealand-based games studio PikPok today announced that their multi-platform title Into the Dead will be available on the soon-to-release Oculus Rift later this month.

The zombie-slaying runner takes you through a gruesome post apocalyptic world, where you pick up guns and ammo, and even a few canine pals on your never-ending quest to outlast the undead hordes.

There’s a good reason you may recognize the name, because Into the Dead spans a multitude of devices including Gear VR, smartphones, tablets, desktop, and smart TVs. The studio is calling the Oculus Rift version “the highest fidelity and most immersive version of the game to date.”

“With the enthusiastic reception to Into the Dead for the Gear VR and the great support we’ve experienced from Oculus, we’re looking forward to both continuing our push into desktop and exploring VR further,” said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of PikPok.

Into the Dead will be on the Oculus Store in late March, presumably as the Oculus Rift launches on March 28th.

    This looks like a great way to get Sim Sick ;) Unless they removed all the bumping, slowed down speed to a crawl and redesigned the entire game for VR.
