NEW ZEALAND, Wellington, March 10, 2016 – Leading games publisher PikPok® today announced that their original title Into the Dead® will be available on Oculus Rift releasing later this month. The Oculus Rift version will build on Into the Dead’s success in the VR space following its launch on the Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus late last year.

Into the Dead throws you into the gruesome world of the zombie apocalypse where there are no second chances. Do what you have to stay alive, keep moving as fast as you can, and protect yourself by any means necessary. PikPok has already launched Into the Dead in the mobile, desktop, and TV spaces, and new players will join the more than 50 million fans already enjoying the atmospheric runner. Existing fans will see that the new Oculus Rift version is the highest fidelity and most immersive version of the game to date.

“Into the Dead is a cornerstone title in the PikPok portfolio, and the upcoming version for Oculus Rift will be our definitive version of the game,” said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of PikPok. “With the enthusiastic reception to Into the Dead for the Gear VR and the great support we’ve experienced from Oculus, we’re looking forward to both continuing our push into desktop and exploring VR further.”
