Massively-multiplayer online game developer Undead Labs has announced that its long ago revealed zombie MMO, now codenamed Class3, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and will be published by Microsoft Game Studios.
“Undead Labs is thrilled to work directly with Microsoft to bring Xbox 360 players an outstanding zombie-survival franchise,” Undead Labs founder Jeff Strain said in a statement today. “Our mission is to create original online games that truly feel at home on the console platform, and Xbox 360 is a fantastic platform for online console gaming. We plan to create an ambitious open world XBLA game and use its gameplay, setting, and technology as the foundation for a full online world game.”
Class3 will give players the chance to live out a zombie apocalypse in the virtual comfort of an MMO setting, complete with “sweet guns, fast cars, hand-to-hand combat, and copious amounts of zombie gore.” Players will also have to join together to design and build settlements, embarking on raids to secure food and ammunition, and rescuing other survivors.
One of the most compelling elements is that the game world changes in real-time and content becomes available depending on what players are doing. I’m not really sure exactly what this means in terms of gameplay, but I love the idea of a constantly evolving, zombie-filled open-world to explore and inhabit. Don't you?
We don’t know much about Undead Labs’ newly detailed zombie MMO, Class3, but these first pieces of artwork for the Xbox Live Arcade title will tide us over nicely until more concrete details start becoming available. One thing we do know about the game is that players will be able to build their own fortifications, an absolute necessity in a zombie apocalypse, and these first images show off a few of the possibilities for potential safe houses. The above image of the church with the pickup truck and tank on the lawn is particularly striking.
