It's been in soft launch for a little while now, but Gameloft's Dead Rivals is finally launching on iOS and Android worldwide tomorrow.

Join up with Carla Montez at the Colorado-based outpost, the Shelter, and help her rebuild and protect her zombie butt-kicking community from all sorts of nasties. Whether it's a shambling zombie, a worrisome mutant, or an enemy faction member facing down the barrel of your gun, you'd best be ready for a fight.

Pre-registrations have been live for a couple of weeks now. If you're sneaky you might be able to get on the list before launch and get your hands on some in-game loot.

Though I hop on-board with Gameloft releases with a little bit of hesitance, I'm actually quite interested to see how this one plays out. Zombie games are fun until the fun's taken out of it - usually by going down a more serious path or by turning it into pay-to-win nonsense.

Either way, if you've been waiting for the chance to play there's only a day left between you and zombie-killing, shelter-building, resource-collecting goodness.
