[Updated] DreadXP Announces Expansion to Consoles, ‘Sucker for Love’ and ‘Iron Lung’ Arriving on the Switch Next Week
UPDATE: Due to a miscommunication, both Sucker for Love and Iron Lung will arrive on the Nintendo Switch on Monday, December 19th.
Horror game publisher DreadXP are stepping out beyond the PC market with a new development studio tasked with bringing the developer’s library of PC games to consoles. Announced today, the development studio, aptly named Port My Game Collective, is already at work with new Nintendo Switch releases of AkaBaka’s Sucker for Love: First Date, and the newly-acquired atmospheric horror game from David Szymanski in Iron Lung. Best of all, both titles are arriving later this week!
Both Sucker for Love and Iron Lung arrive on the Switch on December 16. They aren’t the only ports in the works, as The Mortuary Assistant and SPOOKWARE in will be getting console releases Q1 2023.
“As DreadXP has grown, one of the top requests that we’ve received from fans is having access to our games on consoles,” said Ted Hentskchke, Head of DreadXP Productions and Producer. “We searched far and wide for development partners to faithfully port our developers’ titles, and our search for talent led us to the creation of our new porting studio, Port My Game Collective (PMG Collective). We are excited to introduce console gamers to our slate of games for the first time and look forward to our goal of simultaneous multiplatform game launches.”
Sucker for Love: First Date (check out our review for a reminder) is available now for PC on Steam, Itch.io, and the Epic Games Store. Irong Lung (which we also reviewed) is also available on Steam.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
