Vertigo Games has confirmed that Arizona Sunshine is returning in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
This time, the series leaves its VR roots behind and steps into a fully reimagined third person action experience built for explosive co‑op mayhem.
Welcome to Arizona, Where the Sun Is Hot and the Zombies Are Hotter
The game drops you into a bright, blood‑splattered version of Arizona, where machetes, rifles and questionable decisions are your best friends.
Built on the brutal combat and frenetic storytelling of Arizona Sunshine VR 2, this new entry expands the formula with fresh ways to slice, shoot and survive.
Expect:
- Fast paced third person combat
- Over the top humor
- A narrative driven solo campaign
- Chaotic co op where everything can and will go wrong
Meet Sunny and Buddy, Your Apocalypse Dream Team
You play as Sunny, a survivor who has spent way too long talking to zombies he calls “Freds.”
Your loyal dog Buddy joins the adventure as a ferocious zombie slayer and, in co op, even becomes a playable ally, opening up new ways to tackle hordes together.
The story blends sharp wit, loneliness, and the bond between a man and his dog as you carve your way across a sun drenched wasteland.
Co‑Op Carnage for the Brave (and the Unprepared)
Sure, surviving alone is fine. But why not share the trauma?
Arizona Sunshine offers:
- Split screen co op
- Online co op
- A full arsenal of weapons including shotguns, knives, flamethrowers and more
- Massive hordes that turn every encounter into a disaster waiting to happen
Shootouts escalate fast, rescues happen at the last second and plans fall apart beautifully.
A Fully Reimagined Third Person Experience
This new version of Arizona Sunshine has been rebuilt from the ground up to deliver:
- Explosive action
- Accessible co op gameplay
- Wild customization
- Constant zombie chaos
- The series’ signature biting humor
It is Arizona Sunshine as you have never seen it before, louder, brighter and far more unhinged.
