Survival-Horror Shooter Showcases Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> GamePad, Delivers Intense and Terrifying
\nNew Gaming Experience <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0S<\/strong>YDNEY \u2014 June 6, 2012 \u2014<\/strong> At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft challenged gamers to find out\u00a0 how long they can survive in the dilapidated, infected world of ZombiU \u2013 a new survival-horror shooter that will be released exclusively for Nintendo\u2019s Wii UTM<\/sup>. ZombiU headlines a group of eight titles from Ubisoft that will be available for the Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind critically acclaimed titles like From DustTM<\/sup>, Beyond Good & Evil\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>, ZombiU puts players in the middle of London circa 2012, where an outbreak has infected the population, destroying their humanity and turning them into mindless monsters preying on the flesh of the few remaining survivors. This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the terror, chaos and tension found in the best of the horror genre and adds original interactive elements, including a unique death mechanic that puts players in the body of a different survivor each time they die, allowing them to track and take down their old, infected characters, recover their equipment and see if they can stay alive just a little bit longer this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ZombiU showcases the innovative features of the Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> GamePad and creates new game experiences not possible on other consoles. The Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> GamePad serves as the player\u2019s ultimate survival kit, called the \u201cBug Out Bag.\u201d The Bug Out Bag is a backpack containing all the maps, tools, weapons and supplies that players can scavenge from the limited resources available in the devastated cityscape. ZombiU also uses the Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> GamePad\u2019s touch screen, gyroscope and camera to create a tactile connection between gamers and the in-game world. Finally, ZombiU features a distinctive multiplayer adversarial mode that allows one player to take on the role of \u201cZombie Master,\u201d spawning and controlling enemies from a top-down view on the Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> GamePad while the second player fights for survival on the big screen in first-person shooter view with the Nintendo Wii UTM<\/sup> Pro controller.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cZombiU is a dark and daunting game that gamers will love to play again and again,\u201d said Guillaume Brunier, producer at Ubisoft. \u201cZombiU takes advantage of the Nintendo Wii U\u2019s one-of-a-kind capabilities and will be a launch title that every gamer will want to sink their teeth into.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
