Auxbrain’s latest entry in the Zombie Highway (Free) series, Zombie Highway 2, has a release date locked in for next Thursday, October 9th. This is the latest main entry into the popular series, with last year’s Zombie Highway: Driver’s Ed (Free) being a sort of spinoff that uses some of the tech that powers ZH2. However, where that game was all driving in the desert with no shooting, this brings some powerful new weaponry to help get the zombies off when scraping them off won’t work, like auto-shotguns and laser rifles. Cars have nitro to help get zombies off quicker, as well. And the game travels to a bunch of new locales. Check out a new trailer for the game below:
Zombie Highway 2 will be free-to-play, though there’s no energy system, and the hard currency is used to unlock new cars and weapons early, to help buy items when you don’t have enough cash, and to purchase rewinds when you die. Rewinds are like revives, but send you back a few seconds in time to try and survive. Rewinds are also available through incentivized video ads. The game’s out next Thursday, October 9th, but both the original and Driver’s Ed are free right now in case you can’t wait for this one.
