Get ready for a nostalgic ride as Mobirate’s classic undead adventure, Dead Ahead, is making a grand return to mobile screens after more than a decade. ‘
Originally launched in 2013, this retro-styled moped massacre game is set to resurface with a fresh twist, promising optimizations and updates tailored for the latest smartphones.
Mobirate took to their Facebook page to announce the exciting news, clarifying that this isn’t merely a remaster but an effort to enhance the game’s performance and adapt it to contemporary devices.
If you’ve been holding onto your original Dead Ahead, now might just be the perfect moment to hit that download button! In the realm of mobile gaming, Dead Ahead hails from a simpler era of stylish, pixelated experiences.
Players assume the role of a survivor navigating the perilous undead-infested streets, maneuvering through obstacles, and eliminating zombies in their path.
Back in 2013, Dead Ahead earned a well-deserved silver rating in our review, and its success gave birth to a strategic spin-off sequel named Dead Ahead: Zombie Warfare.
Rising from the virtual grave, Dead Ahead addresses a common woe in the gaming community—preservation. Too often, exceptional games fade into obscurity, succumbing to technical obsolescence.
This phenomenon extends beyond the mobile realm, with even prominent titles becoming unplayable due to a lack of updates, a concern I encountered when SNK’s Metal Slug mobile ports faced a period of inaccessibility.
Hence, it’s heartening to witness a studio revisiting a game that once defined them, especially one characterized by a simple, yet stylish and enjoyable format.
For a trip down memory lane or an introduction to the undead moped mayhem, you can revisit the old release trailer above, showcasing the gameplay and capturing the essence of Dead Ahead.
Dust off your virtual helmet and get ready to relive the thrill of outrunning zombies on your trusty pixelated moped! You can get the Dead Ahead app on Play Store and Apple Store.
