Rebellion is packing up its popular Sniper Elite spin-off series Nazi Zombie Army into a trilogy box set, to be unsurprisingly called the Zombie Army Trilogy. It will contain the first two games in the series, which are currently available as standalone expansions, and an as yet unreleased third entry.
Self-published by Rebellion on all formats, the game will feature fifteen missions across the three campaigns, and bucketloads of gore thanks to the series’ trademark X-Ray Kill Cam. Which is perfect for shooting bits of zombies.
The first two Nazi Zombie Army games were enjoyable enough, though blasting your way through hordes of suicidal, charging zombies did get a little tiresome after a while. The second packed in a few more unique enemy types and enjoyable weapons, but still felt a little repetitive.
That said, Sniper Elite 3 was by far Rebellion’s strongest entry in the franchise to date, so if Nazi Zombie Army 3 can recreate the improved stealth gameplay and huge open levels found in that game, it could be a strong way to wrap up the horror trilogy. Plus, come on. Shooting zombie Hitler in the forehead is never going to stop being fun.
The only word on a release date is that the trilogy will arrive “in early 2015”.
