Sunset Overdrive Shakes Things Up at E3

Sunset Overdrive is nothing if not crazy, and despite being arguably a game about the zombie apocalypse (that is, an Awesomepocalypse brought on by evil fizzy drinks), it brings a hefty dose of color and fun to the Xbox One. If you’ve seen anything about it, you’ve probably guessed it’s somewhat self-aware, and nothing makes that clearer than the bait-and-switch of its E3 trailer.

We didn’t come out of E3 with a lot of new information about Sunset Overdrive, but fans got to see plenty of its wacky style. SunsetTV even uploaded a special video that details the game’s presence at E3.

Yes, you’ll be killing lots of zombie-like enemies in Sunset Overdrive, but it’s lighthearted and focuses on fun. You’ll be able to play it with you friends, as it supports up to 8-player co-op. That will definitely ratchet up the insanity another notch.

(But if you don’t have 7 interested friends, don’t worry, it still should be pretty insane.)

Sunset Overdrive will be released on October 28. We’re not sure why October is such a popular month for game releases this year, but we hope you’ve either prioritized or set aside a lot of money. Is Sunset Overdrive on your list of games to get?
