ZombiU’s servers working again after a lengthy hiatus
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
ZombiU doesn’t have online play, but there are elements in the game that make use of the Internet. There are a few small things that make the experience a bit more enjoyable for the player. Those elements include a leaderboard, ability to tag walls, and more.
For whatever reason, ZombiU’s servers simply stopped responding about 4-5 months ago. However, that’s since changed. Users have started to notice that ZombiU’s servers are alive and kicking once more. For the time being, we’re not quite sure why, but perhaps the new version of the game led Ubisoft to implement a fix.
