Into the Dead: Crimson Heights Is the Hyper-Reality Horror Game That Maps Zombies Into Your Actual Home

Setting and Story

The game places you in Walton City, Texas, in 1980, during the chaotic first hours of a zombie outbreak . You take on the role of the new superintendent arriving at the Crimson Heights apartment building just as everything falls apart . The entire experience unfolds inside this single building, turning its floors and apartments into a maze of survival horror focused on first-person immersion, stealth, exploration, and combat .

How It Fits Into the Franchise

Crimson Heights is a direct prequel to Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, which entered Early Access in 2025 and is also set during the same 1980 Walton City outbreak . It expands a franchise that began with the mobile hit Into the Dead and its sequel, Into the Dead 2, pushing the series firmly into immersive, room-scale horror .

Release Plans and Platforms

PikPok is targeting a 2027 launch across two distinct formats :

• Meta platforms (Hyper Reality): The full Hyper Reality experience that maps your play space into the game.
• Steam (Virtual Reality): A standard VR version for PC-based headsets.

Both versions are available to wishlist now through Meta and Steam store listings . While the Hyper Reality version is the technological showcase, the Steam VR release ensures the game reaches a wider audience that may not have access to Meta's mixed-reality hardware.
