ZombiU is a 2012 first-person survival horror game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft exclusively for the Nintendo Wii U. It was formerly known as Killer Freaks From Outer Space and is a reboot of Ubisoft’s first game, Zombi. It was released on November 18th in North America, November 30th in Europe and Australia and December 8th in Japan as a launch title

Players will have the opportunity to control one of many randomly generated characters who are currently trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in London, they are aided by the voice of a man over the radio who is only referred to as ‘the Prepper’.

During their next run, the player may encounter their previous (now infected) character as a zombie. A unique feature relating to this type of gameplay is that the player will then be able to loot their old characters corpse once defeated for any useful items, weapons or quest-based objects for later use.

There has been no release of information relating to how many zombified survivors can be in the game at one time. Its possible this is only limited to your last character and any previous zombified survivors that have not been put down and looted may disappear from the environment.

Players will earn weapon skills over time as they kill zombies with a certain weapon type, however these skills will be lost upon death and so a new skill set will have to be started.
