ZombiU drops the “U” and heads to PC, Xbox One & PS4

Zombi

Do you remember ZombiU? It was a launch title for the then new Nintendo Wii U console from Ubisoft? Mayhaps you even remember it as a reboot of the ’80s PC game? Of course you don’t; Nobody does! Terrible jokes aside the game is finally making its way onto the PC and current gen consoles, because while we get a lot of great games, especially on the PC, it’s also a dumping ground for games that didn’t do so hot for companies looking turn a quick profit. Still, Zombie (no U, but I would have loved to see the PS4, One, and PC tag added to each version) is coming with some fixes and additions.

Players will experience the original  elements that made ZombiU so… Wii U-ie. The bug-out bag is a necessary component for survival for each player as it contains all the player’s tools, inventory, first aid kits, maps and more. With permadeath, players are faced with a death mechanic which puts them in the body of a different survivor each time they die. In order to retain the equipment they previously gathered in their bug-out bag, they are forced to track down their old, infected character.

ZombiU was an intersting title to say the least, lets just see if in the years since its release the team has added enough to keep it from once again turning into a boring and repetitive experience. Also, I am the only one ready for the zombie thing to slow down and take a little break?
