‘Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition’ Drifts Onto Nintendo Switch Later This Month
What if you could run over endless civilians in GTA with no nagging guilt and/or aggressive police response?
Turns out Polish developer EXOR Studios answered that question a decade ago with Zombie Driver. Since its initial release on Steam, the game made its way to PS3 and Xbox 360, then got remastered and ported to the Xbox One as Zombie Driver Ultimate Edition. Now, to prove that this game, like its namesake monster, just won’t die, EXOR is bringing their top-down drive-by shooter to Switch, with Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition.
This apparently unkillable version of the game will be available in the eShop on July 25th, but preorders are open now in the UK and will open tomorrow in the US. Eager zombie killers will get 10 percent off if they purchase the game in advance.
Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition includes a story mode, a speed-focused competitive mode called, Blood Race, and a survival mode, Slaughter. All the DLC that the game received in its original incarnation — The Apocalypse Pack, Tropical Race Rage, Burning Garden of Slaughter, and Brutal Car Skins — have been included here as unlockable content.
The biggest change this time around seems to be that Zombie Driver on Switch is now running in a different engine — the Schmetterling engine, thanks for asking. EXOR used this engine previously for their 2017 top-down shooter-meets-tower defense game, X-Morph: Defense.
Zombie Driver didn’t get the best reviews last time around, and in 2019 it’s directly competing against Shakedown: Hawaii and American Fugitive — both throwbacks to old school GTA. That said, if your conscience demands that you have a good excuse for running over thousands of pedestrians, Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition basically has the market cornered on guilt-free carnage.

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
