‘ZombieU’ to be Re-Released as ‘Zombi’ On PS4, Xbox One and PC

When Nintendo released the Wii U in North America back in 2012, there were 32 titles available at launch. While most of these were ports of games existing on other platforms, there was one exclusive that garnered quite a bit of attention. ZombiU might not have been the strongest game in the launch, but its unique mechanics coupled with a challenging gameplay experience helped set to the game apart from its peers.

Unfortunately, the Wii U didn’t take off quite like its predecessor and the majority of gamers didn’t have the opportunity to check out Ubisoft’s zombie survival game. The console exclusivity hurt the game and Ubisoft confirmed that the game did not meet their financial expectations. Fans hoped for a port to other systems, but the game seemed destined to remain exclusive to Nintendo indefinitely. Recently, however, rumors have begun to circulate that a port was coming after all.

Ubisoft has now confirmed these rumors, stating that the game will be re-released as Zombi on the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game is set to launch on August 18th across these platforms as a digital download. At this time there are no plans for a physical release of the game.

Here’s the official synopsis for Zombi, released by Ubisoft:

After being one of the Wii U flagship titles in 2012, ZOMBI returns to challenge gamers on multiple new platforms to find out how long they can survive in the dilapidated, infected London. For the second time in history, a great plague has shrouded the city in a fog of death and thousands have died, or worse, been infected by a sickness more gruesome than death. Once again, this fear-fueled first-person shooter invites all players to dive into the horror, chaos and tension found in the best of the genre. The nail-biting survival experience has been optimized for PlayStation4 system, Xbox One and Windows PC, using the power of the latest generation of hardware to bring gamers to a new level of horror.

Players will experience the original oppressive and intense elements that made ZombiU so innovative. 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 and maps, and more. With Permadeath, players are faced with a death mechanic that 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. Should players risk it all to get their bag back or start scavenging anew?

Thought this was a remake of the old 80's horror game, Zombi.
