Fear Factor
ZombiU definitely has a lot to prove. After Red Steel - Ubisoft’s hardcore offering at the Wii’s launch - failed to win over the masses by making large promises it failed to deliver on, public response to ZombiU has typically been laced with skepticism. Now that the game has been unleashed and is happily infecting shiny new Wii U...

Video Nintendo Land Will Likely Never Come To Switch, But That's Okay
Catching up on the Wii U launch title
The Wii U had a pretty dull launch line-up, all told. There, we said it. Between the likes of New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, and Mass Effect 3, there was a general consensus that while all of these games are undoubtedly good, they didn't exactly set the world on fire and justify the Wii U as a "must-have"...

Looking back on the console's launch and legacy
The Wii U is now ten years old. Crazy, right? The successor to the WIi launched back in November 2012 to - shall we say - lukewarm reception. Nevertheless, for fans of Nintendo, it remains a quaint and beloved entry to the company's console line-up, introducing the likes of Splatoon, Xenoblade...
News Ubisoft Will Now Close Online Services For Three Wii U Titles In October
Shut down was originally planned for this month
Back in July, Ubisoft announced it would be shutting down multiple online services for a selection of its older games on 1st September. This included the Wii U versions of Assassin's Creed 3, Rayman Legends and ZombiU. Well, we're now past that date - and Ubisoft
News Ubisoft Closing Online Services For Three Wii U Titles This September
To focus resources on "newer" and "more popular titles"
The Wii U generation saw Nintendo embrace online gaming more than the previous generations, and naturally, third-party developers at the time took advantage of this new focus. Unfortunately, these kinds of services have to eventually wind down, and Ubisoft has decided September 1st is the time...
News ZombiU Servers Reanimate After Being Down for Several Months
Graffiti is back!
Though it's ancient history now by game industry standards, ZombiU is arguably one of only a few games on the Wii U to fully make usage of the GamePad, and the launch title is still a decent survival horror romp for those who might be interested. One rather neat feature of the game was a form of asymmetrical online multiplayer...
Feature Ten Wii U and 3DS Games That Are Perfect for Halloween
Get spooked on the go and at home
Well, the night is here, when we indulge in dressing up and scares like there's no tomorrow. Halloween has become increasingly popular all around the world, and a decent option for getting our share of spooks is to jump into the action with some suitable games. Despite the - inaccurate - perception that Nintendo...
Feature Have You Played... ZombiU?
Horrifyingly cheap and a strong Wii U experience
This is the first of a series of articles that are a reflection of a disappointing reality. The Fall and Holiday line-ups on Wii U and 3DS undoubtedly have some treats and games to be hugely excited about, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Xenoblade Chronicles X, yet they're also a...
Video Here's How Zombi Shapes Up Against The Original ZombiU
Reanimated
As we already know, Ubisoft has dusted off its Wii U launch title ZombiU and released it on the PS4, Xbox One and PC at a budget price, minus all the second-screen malarkey which made the Nintendo edition so tense and compelling. The publisher has insisted that the port features visual improvements - despite the evidence
News Zombi Reveal Trailer Suggests That Wii U Gamers Need Not Be Too Jealous
Re-animated rather than brought to life
ZombiU was a standout game at the Wii U's launch, bringing some excellent horror to the system while utilising the GamePad to enhance the experience. It was a tad rough around the edges, like launch games often are, but nevertheless did a lot of good things. News of its impending re-release on PS4 and Xbox...
News Ubisoft's Former Wii U Exclusive ZombiU Confirmed For PS4 & Xbox One Release
Now titled Zombi
At the beginning of last month, a reportedly reliable source informed Unseen64 that Ubisoft was busy porting its Wii U launch title, ZombiU, to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as it had failed to generate any profit for the French publisher as an exclusive to Nintendo’s latest home platform. While the news was filed under the...

Taking Rayman Legends and ZombiU for another spin
When it comes to third-party launch support for Wii U, Ubisoft is the stand-out with its sheer volume of titles on the way.

London crawling
Ubisoft's first-person shooter ZombiU is brutal. Adapted from the ashes of the cancelled Killer Freaks from Outer Space, it sees London overrun by hordes of infected monsters. Your only goal is to survive, but don't expect to do so for very long; battles are desperate, fought with melee weapons or a weak pistol until you can scrape...
About The Game
An outbreak has infected the population, destroying their humanity and turning them into mindless monsters preying on the flesh of the few remaining survivors.
This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the terror, chaos and tension found in the best of the horror genre and adds original interactive elements, including a unique death mechanic that puts players in the body of a different survivor each time they die, allowing them to track and take down their old, infected characters, recover their equipment and see if they can stay alive just a little bit longer this time.
ZombiU showcases the innovative features of the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad and creates new game experiences not possible on other consoles. The Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad serves as the player’s ultimate survival kit, called the “Bug Out Bag.” The Bug Out Bag is a backpack containing all the maps, tools, weapons and supplies that players can scavenge from the limited resources available in the devastated cityscape. ZombiU also uses the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad’s touch screen, gyroscope and camera to create a tactile connection between gamers and the in-game world. Finally, ZombiU features a distinctive multiplayer adversarial mode that allows one player to take on the role of “Zombie Master,” spawning and controlling enemies from a top-down view on the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad while the second player fights for survival on the big screen in first-person shooter view with the Nintendo Wii UTM Pro controller.
Formerly known as Killer Freaks from Outer Space.

Not liking the new title... oh well
It's not great title, but I'm superstoked that it changed to a Zombie game from that killer freak garbage. It looks like a blast though.
And I think that this may have been the zombie game that the guy talking to the "non-specific super hero figurine" in the pre E3 announcement video was stuck on.
This looks interesting...
It has so much potential hopefully Ubisoft wont let us down like they did with their 3DS line up
I can see this, along with Mass Effect III, Assassin's Creed III and Batman Arkham City forming the entirety of my Wii U Library in the "launch window".
Just watched the trailer, looks amazing!
For those not in the know, this is a modern reboot of Ubisoft's first game called "Zombi".
Fish and Chip shops! Union Flag Taxis!
But where's The Queen and Stephen Fry?
This game looks amazing! one of the most orignal and unique spins on the zombie genre. I love how it is realistic compared to the movies, (You get bit you turn into a zombie). Where as other zombie games you could get bitten a handful of times and not die and never turn into a zombie. Can't wait for this!!!
I am definitely getting this as one of my First Five.
This is a sure buy! It's the game that got me the most excited... zombie land here i come!
ZombiU is way better than Killer Freaks did so far. Happy they made the change
this is awsome have somebody the video seen on youtube its cool
Absolutely cannot wait for this game!!!!
@Phocks5 your profile picture is disturbing 0.o
but true tough...
looks like a challenging game. can't wait for the release!
Got this game on release date; love the atmosphere! Looks pretty nice for a release game..
so cool !!
I've got this game, and have to say, Ubisoft, you are a bunch of absolute legends!!! What a fantastic game, I cannot get enough of it, even though I s**t my pants every time I hear the freaky moaning sounds of a walking corpse.
It's dark, scary atmosphere, never knowing what's around the corner that brings me back for more.
Those people who gave this game a bad score are just jealous and ticked off that the game didn't come out on the 360 or ps3.
My brothers love this game, my friends love it, and are getting it soon, just wish we could all play together online and if one of us gets killed, we control the zombie until we get killed, bring on ZombiU 2, and make it based in my home city, Melbourne, Australia
just ordered it today after playing demo cant wait running about london cool.
