Zombies!!! Heading to the XBLA

Zombies!!! Heading to the XBLA

When board games turn into video games

Written by SgtDigglesworth on 22 October 12 at 22:22

Twilight Creations Inc. and Barbaroga are teaming up to bring the board game of zombie survival to the XBLA and Windows 8 with their upcoming title, Zombies!!!

In a desolate town filled with carnage and the undead, gamers will embark on a journey of strategy through multiple camera positions, upgrades and cards that will unlock weapons to help aid you in your quest for survival.

You will be able to play locally or online with friends (or all by your lonesome) and try to be the first to reach the rescue chopper. The following developer diary will help explain further the chaos you will face.



Here is the teaser trailer showcasing some of the gameplay.



Zombies!!! does not have a firm release date as of yet, but we will be sure to keep you posted for any more news that surfaces surrounding this board game adaptation. You can get a taste of what to expect in Zombies!!! (WP) for the WP7.

I can be a Wookiee and take out zombies?!? Sold

Seriously though, I really enjoy the board game so I'm happy they're bringing this to LIVE.

Nice try, though.danceroll

Mine ranges from some leather jacket guy to some steampunk guy, to an ODST, to a spartan. Those last 3 would kill zombies easily.

I dont think zombies will ever be overused, as long as they're different from each other in gameplay. Like Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Dead Island, and all that good stuff. This game looks pretty interesting too. smile
