Konami has confirmed the summer release of a downloadable title for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live going by the name of
Zombie Apocalypse.
You can probably guess what it's about, but Konami's just released a slew of details, so we'll let the publisher tell you about it anyway. Below that you can find some new screens. The premise might sound familiar to fans of
Left 4 Dead...
So, Konami says: "
Zombie Apocalypse casts up to four players as heavily-equipped gun-slingers left to fight for survival in a world where the undead have risen and are feasting on the living. As such,
Zombie Apocalypse sets players the grisly task of destroying as many zombies as possible in order save the last remaining human survivors.
"Using an array of up to eleven lethal weapons that includes assault rifles, flame throwers and a teddy bear filled with C4 explosives, players can play together on one console or online as they work together to stop the zombie attacks and rescue survivors. Players can also use a chainsaw to melee zombies and can also use environmental hazards to crush, burn, slice, or cause other types of destruction on the masses of zombies.
"The eradication of the undead rewards the players with points, as they compete for high scores which are logged online.
Zombie Apocalypse’s action-packed, arcade-style shooter will test gamers’ shooting skills and their ability to survive 55 days of battles across the game’s seven environments. Failure results in players becoming one of the undead, and on completing the mission, players can re-live the apocalypse with seven challenging unlockable game modes."
