ZombiU Confirmed for Wii U, Gets Details and Gameplay Video

Quite a lot of interesting Nintendo Wii U games were confirmed during the company’s E3 2012 press conference, but one of the most outlandish is ZombiU, coming from Ubisoft exclusively for the new home console.

Nintendo showed off different types of games at E3 2012, from its own projects, like New Super Mario Bros. U, to third-party ones, like Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition.

Among the other games coming from different developers was ZombiU, made by Ubisoft exclusively for the new console.

As you can tell by its name, ZombiU is a zombie killing game, where players need to use their skills and the Wii U GamePad in order to navigate a version of London infested with the undead.

“ZombiU is built from the ground up to take full advantage of the Wii U and its revolutionary controller and will test your will to survive in a fear-fueled zombie Survival Horror First Person Shooter. So grab hold of the Swiss knife of survival kits – your Wii U new controller – and stock up your Bug-Out Bag with supplies! Make every second count; you only get one chance.”

The game makes players pay attention to both the action on the TV and on the GamePad’s screen, while dying has a special twist, as you just take control of a new survivor who must then deal with the zombified remains of your previous corpse.

Check out all of ZombiU’s features below.

Two screens, twice the fear – Feel the tension mount as you try to keep an eye on your TV and controller screen.

Survival-horror at its best – Resources are in short supply while your enemies are legion; you never know when you will find more weapons, ammunition, first aid and food. Use them wisely!

Don’t leave home without your BOB - The Wii U new controller becomes your Bug-Out Bag; the ultimate all-in-one survival kit for your tools, inventory, med kits, maps and more.

Unique Death Mechanic – If you die, you wake up to play an entirely new character who is another survivor in the same terrifying position. You will want to recover your old BOB, now worn by the last character you played...who is now a zombie!

Horde at your door – Prepare yourself for the inevitable onslaught. Stock up on guns, ammo and supplies, and lock down your Safe House! It's time to defend your home against the ravenous, infected horde!

Survivors vs. Zombies – An adversarial multiplayer mode where one player takes over the role of Zombie Master (top-down view) spawns enemies and springs traps with a simple touch on the Wii U new controller; while a second player (first-person view) fights for survival with the Classic Controller!

Mercy Killer – When your character gets infected, your online friends are alerted of your death and can come and hunt down your zombified character to loot the gear in your BOB and put you out of your misery!

Based in London – A city steeped in grisly history, royal secrets and bloody tales, where the medieval fortress of the Tower of London and the stately Buckingham Palace contrast with the modernity of the world's most cosmopolitan city!

Check out a few screenshots and a gameplay video of ZombiU below and get ready for its launch later this year alongside the Wii U.
