Coming hot on the heels of this week’s Zombieland: Double Tap Road Trip announcement, Sony Pictures Games has announced a second video game tie in to the upcoming Zombieland sequel entitled Zombieland: Double Tapper.
Developed by Tilting Point and Metagame Studio, Zombieland: Double Tapper promises a wacky road trip through iconic American locations that have been overrun by the undead, and features a large roster of heroes to collect, upgrade and customize, including familiar faces from the films.
“We are very excited to bring the Zombieland universe to mobile devices,” said Paul Joffe, vice president, Sony Pictures Television Games. “The game will provide hours of entertainment for fans of the Zombieland franchise, as well as anyone who enjoys killing hordes of undead.”
“We’re thrilled at the opportunity to display our skills and dedication in co-developing a title with such a beloved franchise,” said Samir El-Agili, president of Tilting Point. “At Tilting Point, we’re confident in our UA funding and expertise, best-in-class AI tech, and deep understanding of free-to-play mobile games to ensure success for Zombieland: Double Tapper and to provide a game players everywhere will love.”
“Sony Pictures Entertainment has given us the opportunity to explore the Zombieland universe in time for this fall’s highly-anticipated sequel,” said Daniel Nay, co-founder and CEO of Metagame Studio. “As our fans know, Zombieland is the perfect match for our sense of humor, and we look forward to bringing them another outrageous game.”
“After the events of the first film, Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock move to the American heartland as they face off against evolved zombies, fellow survivors and the growing pains of the snarky makeshift family.”
Zombieland: Double Tap reunites director Ruben Fleischer with screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and original stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, while new additions include Rosario Dawson (Luke Cage), Zoey Deutch (Flower), Avan Jogia (Now Apocalypse), Luke Wilson (Roadies) and Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley). The film is set for release on October 11th 2019.
