IGN has the first look and first official reveal of Nihilistic’s upcoming PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade title, Zombie Apocalypse. We had reported on rumors of the game back in February, with the OFLC seemingly confirming its existence a month later. Now, we finally see the game in action and for undead fans, it looks glorious.
The twin-stick shooter is being described as a cross between Burn Zombie Burn! and Left 4 Dead, which to me sounds like a good thing. You take on the role of one of four survivors, fighting off wave after wave of zombies as you battle for survival over a number of days. As our rumors had indicated, chainsaws make an appearance, as does cooperative multiplayer.
Apparently when our tipster said you’d fight across “several days” they had meant 55 days. Yes, the game will feature 55 days of zombie slaughtering action spread across several locations. Pack a lunch.
The full IGN review has video and screenshots. Zombie Apocalypse is set to hit PSN and XBLA in Q2 2009.
