While these additions and changes are nice, Ubisoft is also dropping some aspects of the game as well. Besides just having access to the cricket bat, players can utilize a shovel as well as a bat filled with nails to help them kill zombies without wasting precious ammo. In addition, two new melee weapons have been thrown in the mix. The controls have been tweaked to allow for better first-person movement, and the player's field of view has been slightly increased. While the lack of a second screen experience is probably the biggest change in the jump from ZombiU to Zombi, there are other changes coming to the title as well. Instead the map will appear on the television screen, if players so choose, and inventory management is also relegated to the TV screen. It would be possible for Ubisoft to recreate it through other means on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One, as all systems support some type of second screen experience, but alas, the feature is not available, not even optionally. Now Ubisoft has laid it all out in the open, as they've released extensive details about the changes coming to Zombi.įirst of all, the second screen experience is being completely dropped. The game as it appeared on the Wii U was one of the few games that actually benefited from the GamePad's second screen experience, and it was unknown how Ubisoft was going to be handling the port in regards to this feature, seemingly integral to the DNA of the game.

Yesterday, Ubisoft confirmed this speculation with a reveal trailer for Zombi, which is the new name for the game once it releases on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as PC, on August 18th as an exclusively digital title.īased on the initial trailer that Ubisoft released, Zombi looked almost unchanged from the Wii U version, yet one question remained. Last month, it was rumored that the underrated Wii U survival-horror game ZombiU was getting ported to PS4 and Xbox.
