Zombie Army Trilogy Launch Trailer

   

Zombie Army Trilogy Rises Today on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC

Rebellion are calling all new recruits and seasoned vets to team up, reload and move out as Zombie Army Trilogy launches today.

Available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, Zombie Army Trilogy marks the apocalyptic conclusion of the cult shooter series, swelling the re-animated ranks with two eye-popping remasters and summoning an all-new brand of horror in a blood-curdling third chapter. Joining the collection is a brand new Horde mode, new enemies, a new cast of player characters and of course, a demonic zombie Führer.

Priced on consoles at ￡39.99 / $49.99 / 49,99 Eur, Zombie Army Trilogy is now available at a special launch discount of 20% for both Xbox Live Gold subscribers (offer ends March 12th) and PlayStation Plus members (ends March 10th in North America, March 12th in other regions).

PC players don’t lose out on the savings either, being able to get four copies for the price of three with an exclusive Steam 4-pack, or up to 60% off if they own any of the first two Nazi Zombie Army games via Steam (offer ends April 3rd, normal price ￡29.99 / $44.99 / 41,99 Eur)

Console editions of Zombie Army Trilogy are also available at retail in all regions outside North America. A physical launch is planned for North America in the near future.

Rebellion working on Battlezone 1998 remaster



An open letter to Battlezone fans

Dear Battlezone fans

Firstly, thank you so much for all the great feedback we’ve received following the unveiling of our Battlezone reboot for virtual reality devices.

Having to keep quiet about something we’re crazy excited for has been a challenge, so to finally showcase it at E3 and see so many people just as excited for the game was really gratifying.

As our teaser trailer revealed, our VR version of Battlezone is very much a reboot of Atari’s 1980 arcade classic, a game we’re very fond of at Rebellion. However, we also know that a number of you are fans of the 1998 and 1999 Battlezone games released by Activision that re-imagined the franchise as a groundbreaking hybrid of FPS and RTS gameplay. Naturally when we made our announcement last week some of you asked, “But what about the newer Battlezone games? What are you doing with them?”

Well, we’ve read your comments, articles, emails and posts and we’ve seen your love for these games – so we wanted to make another brief announcement:

We’re very pleased to reveal that we’re also working on a remaster of the 1998 Battlezone for PC.

It’s still early days but when we’re ready to show you more you’ll be the first to know. All we can say for now is that whichever vision of Battlezone you love, you’ve not been forgotten!

Thanks for reading, The Rebellion team

Rebellion Buys Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries IP



Welcome to the Rebellion family!

Dear Kickstarter backers and owners of Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries

In August, GRIN’s founder Wim Wouters wrote a brave and searingly honest statement about the sad closure of the studio and the end of Woolfe as they knew it. If you missed this, then we highly recommend you read Wim’s post before continuing. But in summary, GRIN was unable to continue as a business and had to apply for bankruptcy, and so Woolfe (and everything related to the game) was put up for sale at auction.

It has been a difficult time for those involved with Woolfe and for you, the backers, but today we’re writing to tell you that Woolfe is still alive, and now in the hands of a new owner, Rebellion – that’s us! We’re delighted to add Woolfe’s gorgeous, twisted universe to our burgeoning list of indie games and we hope you’ll join us for the ride.

You’re still probably wondering what this all means. Where does this leave backers? What’s the future of Woolfe? Who are Rebellion anyway?

We’ve tried to answer all your questions below so please take time to read our responses if you can, and if you can’t find an answer to your question then feel free to get in touch with us at woolfe.support@rebellion.co.uk, or hit us up at @Rebellion on Twitter!

Jason and Chris Kingsley, Co-founders and owners of Rebellion.

Battlezone will launch first on PlayStation VR

   

Battlezone will launch first on PlayStation VR

It may seem silly to say this after 23 years in the games industry, but it still surprises me just how much can happen in four months! The last time PlayStation Blog invited me to write we’d just announced Battlezone at E3 in June, showing off a very tiny, very early slice of the game to select press.

Come the summer, Battlezone has been put through its paces by the gaming public at events across America, Europe and the Middle East!

And today marks another landmark. During PlayStation’s Paris Games Week media briefing it was announced that Battlezone is going to be a launch exclusive for PlayStation VR, and we’ve released a thumping new gameplay trailer and some beautiful new screenshots to celebrate!

The first thing you’ll notice is that the footage shows off some stunning new environments, from sleek cities to lava-scarred industrial wastelands and sub-zero frozen wastes, all translated into Battlezone’s trademark retro-futuristic visuals.

We’ve got some amazing tech powering these huge levels (something we’ll talk a little about that in the future hopefully) but for now what I can tell you is the aim is to use VR to make each environment feel as awe-inspiring and monumental as possible from the cockpit of your tank.

Look more closely at the trailer and a few more details start to emerge as well, including new enemy tank variants, new artillery weapons, and some striking new power-ups that allow the player to deploy special area of effect attacks, boosts and other modifiers.

We’re still very much at the experimental stage so most of these abilities don’t even have official names yet, but we want to deliver a blend of fast, intense arcade vehicle combat with more tactical, customisable elements and really exploit the amazing battlefield awareness and sensations that VR provides.

If you’re lucky enough to be heading to Paris Games Week make sure you head to the PlayStation VR stand and give Battlezone a try. For those of you who may have already played it, we’ve worked closely with PlayStation’s tech team over the last few weeks on some important techniques so the virtual reality experience will be even smoother, even for those not yet accustomed to VR.

Of course, if you’ve played Battlezone at a recent event feel free to get in touch with me @RebellionJason or @Rebellion on twitter and let us know what you think of the game!

We can’t wait to release Battlezone alongside PlayStation VR next year, it’ll be a huge moment for gaming, and we hope you’ll join us for the ride.
