I, Zombie is reaching Switch next month, Awesome Games Studio has announced. It’s scheduled for March 8 in both North America and Europe. Pricing is set at $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.49.
The goal of I, Zombie is to lead a horde and infect all humans on the map. You’ll need to use different tactics and strategies in each level by instructing your horde to attack armed soldiers, infect helpless civilians, follow you, or await orders. Adding to the fun is a level editor in which players can create their own layouts.
We have more information and a trailer for I, Zombie below.
