First, we want to say a big thank you to our beta testers. You were a huge help, and it was great to get to know some of you in multiplayer sessions.
Today, we want to let you know about two new pieces of content. We have a new new VR trailer - Runner and a soundtrack
In Runner, experience the terror of a run to safety in the dark of a zombie infested Arizona night. The trailer is available for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive with full positional tracking, transporting you into the middle of the action.

BEHIND THE SCENES - SOUNDTRACK
For Arizona Sunshine, we wanted to create a soundtrack that would be highly atmospheric, without being too overpowering and in your face. We listened to many old western movie soundtracks for inspiration. We were looking for minimalistic music that sets the right tone, and really compliments our story, scenes and setting well. For this project, we worked with Jonathan van den Wijngaarden. We’re very happy with the sound and feel Jonathan came up with!
Jonathan: "With the soundtrack I wanted to stay away from writing typical 'horror' music. Instead I decided to focus on the Western element of the game and combine it with analog synthesizers. The retro feel of the synthesizers infuses the score with a nostalgic feeling, portraying the world as it was before the apocalypse. The Western element consists of typical sounds and percussion, but everything was processed or played in a non typical way to give a bit more of a mysterious tone; bowed lap steel guitars, processed (weird) percussion and programmed grooves. I really wanted the player to feel immersed in a familiar yet mysterious and desolate world."
The Arizona Sunshine soundtrack will be available Dec 6, 2016 in regular digital edition and limited edition here. In addition to the digital release, the limited edition also contains a numbered and signed cassette tape – while supplies last!
You can sample the soundtrack here.
