The upcoming new virtual reality game based on the movie franchise is set to launch on Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality this spring, with a later released planned for PlayStation VR.

In a statement, Jake Zim - Sony Pictures Entertainment SVP - said: "With this VR game, we're bringing the zombie apocalypse right to you in a totally new way while preserving the humour and wit of the hit movie franchise.

"Now 'Zombieland' fans can feel what it's like to stare down an onslaught of Zombie hordes and make split-second gameplay decisions in order to blast their way to survival."

The game will prioritise speed with gamers tasked with shooting down waves of the undead as fast as possible, with your score dependent on how quickly you clear each stage.

This can be given a boost with special actions, such as a double head shot on a zombie temporarily slowing down time to let you get some extra hits in.

XR Games founder and CEO Bobby Thandi added, "The 'Zombieland' world is a no-nonsense kind of place, and to this end, we've made one of the purest shooting games for VR.

"We handcrafted the content, upping replayability and incorporating mechanics from racing games such as time splits so you know exactly how well you're doing."
