Zombie games seem to be everywhere these days. From PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies, to the recently released RE5 (we know, not “technically” zombies) zombies have unofficially become the flavor of the past six months. Konami, not wanting to miss out on the profit fun has announced “Zombie Apocalypse” for the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.
Kotaku put it great when they said the game resembles a “top down Left 4 Dead.” The game will have 4 player zombie killing co-op action as well as the features listed in the press release:
- Killer Environments – Use the environmental hazards to crush, burn, slice, or cause many other types of destruction on the zombie masses
- Trigger-mortis – 11 devastating weapons are at your disposal to blow the heads of the living dead or when your trigger finger is tired use the chainsaw to eviscerate them in a more up close and personal manner
- 55 Days Later – Survive 55 days of battles across 7 environments and you will be rewarded with not becoming a brainless zombie
- Slaughter Zombies as a Team – Play with 4 players locally or via the internet and work as a team to rescue survivors and put down as many brain eaters as you can while competing for high scores
- More Zombie Modes – Re-live the apocalypse with 7 challenging unlockable game modest
The game is set to launch sometime this quarter, so get ready to kill zombies…again.
