Brooklyn, NY — July 26, 2024 — BumbleBear Games is thrilled to announce that their latest arcade cabinet is now available for preorder. Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Killer Queen game it was remixed from, the ZOMBEEZ cabinet embodies a fusion of nostalgia and innovation, making it a must-have for arcade enthusiasts worldwide.

The game is built on top of the code and graphics from Killer Queen, but drastically changes the gameplay to be a side-scrolling horror adventure. Players will control the titular Abs, a muscly worker bee who must outrun a terrifying wall of undead insects, and repeatedly clash with a twisted, maniacal version of the game’s most iconic character, the Blood Queen. All of the technical skills and techniques utilized in high-level Killer Queen play will be called upon as you struggle for survival — ride the Snail, earn your wings as a powerful Warrior, grab Berries and use them to discover hidden abilities and secret rooms.

The ZOMBEEZ cabinet showcases exquisite side art designed by the talented Harry Bogosian, known for his exceptional work on Black Emperor. This unique design not only pays homage to Killer Queen but also captures the essence of ZOMBEEZ, setting it apart as a true collector's item. The ZOMBEEZ cabinet introduces an exhilarating 2-player mode, elevating the gaming experience to new heights. Additionally, arcade-specific features such as local high-score boards and an engaging attract mode add further depth and excitement to every gameplay session. “The design of the cabinet evokes a corrupted version of Killer Queen, like the game itself”, says Josh DeBonis, President of BumbleBear.

As an exclusive benefit, preorder customers will enjoy priority production and delivery ahead of other customers. Furthermore, preorder customers will receive a $666 discount along with an additional 6 months of dedicated support. The preorder period ends on August 31st and is limited to just 25 cabinets. Serial numbers and shipment dates will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Preorders may be placed at https://bumblebeargames.com/.
