Console Zombie MMO in Development
By Joe Dodson, 11/24/2009 1:35 AMA new developer with Blizzard and ArenaNet roots is hard at work on a zombie-themed console MMO.
Undead Labs was founded by Jeff Strain, who worked on World of Warcraft at Blizzard before helping to found ArenaNet and develop Guild Wars. As far as we know, this guy and his teams haven't produced an MMOG that wasn't awesome.
Then again, there's always a first time, especially when your press release jibber-jabbers thusly: " Undead Labs is committed to bringing to life an MMO loaded with action, humor and, of course, a whole lotta zombies, because the world doesn't need more dragons."
You think there are too many dragons so you're developing a zombie game? Why not set it in World War II while you're at it?
Actually, for all we know it could be set in World War II, because aside from the studio and concept (zombie console MMO), nothing is known about this approaching apocalypse. Although we will go out on a limb and guess that this end time will not arrive before 2012.
