Well, Jeff is back at it again in founding Undead Labs. What could possibly be on the horizon for a very influential talent in the MMO world? How about Zombies? According to the Press Release Undead Labs will be concentrating on a new MMOZ (massively multiplayer online zombie) game. Now I know MMO's come and go on a regular basis but what is intriguing about this MMO is that it will be aimed at *gasp* console gamers. With such an untapped market ready for the taking, it seems plausible that the time of console MMO's will soon arrive, and who better to ring in the new era than a seasoned MMO veteran. There is no release date yet for this project, but be sure we will be watching with the utmost curiosity in the months to come.
From Undead Labs:
When flesh-eating, shambling undead corpses invade Seattle, Undead Labs will probably be the ones responsible. Video game industry veteran Jeff Strain today announced the formation of Undead Labs, a Seattle, Washington-based game development studio that’s on a mission to take online gaming in bold new directions. Undead Labs’ sole focus will be to create the definitive massively multiplayer online zombie game (MMOZ) for console gamers. Nothing screams funny quite like wading into a group of rotting zombies with lawn chair and a box of sharpened #2 pencils, and nothing says fun quite like doing it with your friends, whether online or on your couch. 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.
Oh yes boys and girls, the world does not need anymore dragons, we need....braaaaaiiiinnnsss......
