Ubisoft unveils ZombiU for Wii U

Ubisoft is making a play for the lucrative zombie-💞killing market 🎐with the release of ZombiU, an M-rated action game slated for an exclusive Wii U release (and, no, not a Zombie University sim which may have been equally cool).

Revealed during Ubisoft's E3 conference, ZombiU is allegedly built from the remains of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Killer Freaks from Outer Space, Ubisoft's former Wii U horro🌠r exclusive that was shown off at E3 2011. Judging by ZombiU's debut CGI trailer - shot in glorious zombie slo-mo, no less - the game will come by its mature rating honestly with scenes of graphic zombie killings, suicides, and loads of viral madness. Think Dead Island meets Dead Rising with a pinch of Resident Evil and you'll get the i𝓡dea. Now stop thinking and start planning all the morbid things you'll be able to do when ZombiU arrives with the Wii U later this year.

Also check back later🅰 for the official trailer. Just make sure there's no little kids in the room when you do.

Update: Ubisoft's dropped off a press release shining a little more light on its Wii U survival horror entry. In development at Ubisoft's Montpellier branch (From Dust, Beyond Good and Evil), ZombiU is a first person shooter that takes place in modern day London during a “mindless monster” outbreak. In it, players will be challenged with surviving as long as they can in the undead chaos; however, death will bring the opportunity to hop into the body of another survivor, track down your former corpse and continue the fight.

Being a Wii U exclusive, ZombiU will act as somewhat of a showpiece for the Wii U's GamePad. One of its core functions will be to serve as an interactive “Bug Out Bag” which, if you're up-to-date with your doomsday lingo, is the term applied to an emergency survival kit stocked with the necessary weapons, tools, first aid supplies, and resources to survive a mutated outbreak. The GamePad's touch and motion controls will also be used in-game for various activities and in ZombiU's multiplayer mode, in which players will be able to use it to deploy a mutant army against their friends.

“ZombiU is a dark and daunting game that gamers will love to play again and again,” said Guillaume Brunier, producer at Ubisoft. “ZombiU takes advantage of the Nintendo Wii U’s one-of-a-kind capabilities and will be a launch title that every gamer will want to sink their teeth into.”

We'll be keeping track of ZombiU as it nears release. In the meantime, you can read the lates⛦t info straight from Ubisoft at or its (that is, when Ubisoft gets around to activating either).
