Anticipation is building for the Nintendo Switch release of Zombie Army 4: Dead War. Rebellion announced the release date of the Switch version last month. Today, they revealed specific details about the game, including how it will take advantage of the Switch’s unique capabilities. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the April 26 release date.
The Nintendo Switch release of the game may be some players’ introduction to the series. If you’re interested in playing the series from the beginning, the first three games are already available on Switch. If not, here’s a quick summary of the game, courtesy of last month’s announcement:
“For those of you who are new to the slaying Community, Zombie Army 4 takes you to 1940s Europe where you have to do battle with hordes of abominable occult enemies using epic weapons in a harrowing campaign as you fight to save humankind from undead Armageddon. “
If you’re going to face off against the undead, you’d better be good with a gun. Thankfully, Zombie Army 4: Dead War will use the Switch’s gyroscope controls, allowing for more precise aiming. The game also supports the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
However you like to play, there are sure to be a lot of zombies to take down. Zombie Army 4Â on Switch will come with full access to Season Pass One content, according to today’s press release:
“Complete with support for the Pro Controller the Nintendo Switch version also includes all of the additional content from Season Pass One and every post-release Horde Map on the game card. Season Pass One gives players three additional levels, four character packs, nine weapon bundles, five weapon skin packs and four character outfit bundles. It is also available free on all other platforms now.”
Zombie Army 4Â Includes Steam Cross Save
Players will be able to transfer their Steam save to the Nintendo Switch, thanks to Steam Cross Save. Unfortunately, this only works one way, so you won’t be able to transfer your Switch save to your PC. Still, this is a cool option if you’re dying to fight some zombies on the go.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is now available for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop. It’s coming to Switch on April 26, 2022.
