Sony Pictures unveils VR game set inside 'Zombieland' universe
The game will feature a weapon slate with shotguns, revolvers and assault rifles
Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and British development studio XR Games have unveiled "Zombieland: Headshot Fever," a VR shooter game set within that film's universe.
Zombieland: Headshot Fever tasks players with joining Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg in Ruben Fleischer's 2009 film; Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock as they take on the undead amid a zombie-killing racecourse. The game is inspired by 1990s' arcade-style light-gun shooting and modern racing titles, and will, as the companies describe, retain the humor and action of Zombieland and its sequel, Double Tap.
The game will feature a weapon slate with shotguns, revolvers and assault rifles, as well as global leaderboards where players can challenge their friends.

Zombieland: Headshot Universe will release this Spring on platforms including Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift, then later for PlayStation VR.
