Ubisoft on ZombiU’s inclusion in Nintendo Direct, change from Killer Freaks
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The zombie game shown during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation was indeed ZombiU. A Ubisoft representative confirmed this at E3 2012.
While that probably isn’t the most surprising news, the origins of its inclusion in Nintendo Direct are fairly interesting.
About a month or two ago, Ubisoft demoed ZombiU to Nintendo. Nintendo must have considered the game to be quite good, as the company contacted Ubisoft about including the game in Nintendo Direct soon after.
Ubisoft has also commented on the switch from Killer Freaks to ZombiU, explaining that a zombie survival game seemed more appealing and enjoyable once the developers started to learn about the specifics of the Wii U GamePad. ZombiU is a nod to the company’s first game, Zombi, which was released in 1986.
