All Zombies Must Die! (On XBLA) say SquareEnix & Doublesix

I hope you aren’t fed up of Zombies, because SquareEnix want you to kill some more of them, all of them in fact; today announcing that they will be handling the European publishing duties on doublesix’s newest Xbox Live Arcade game All Zombies Must Die!

This new title, a spiritual successor to the 2009 game, Burn Zombie Burn sees you in the role of avid gamer Jack; as he does what every gamer would like to do in real life: Kill a ton of zombies. This shooter-cum-RPG allows up to four players to indulge in some good old zombie slaying, while gaining experience levels, taking part in some comical side quests and craft their own weapons using collectable items.

Square Enix’s Digital Sales Director, Antony Douglas; had this to say about the publishing deal: “All Zombies Must Die! has already received a great amount of interest from media and customers and we’re looking forward to working with doublesix on the XBLA launch. Our signing of the game adds to our continued commitment to support great games from established and emerging developers.”

Developer doublesix are no doubt pleased with the result, with their founder James Brooksby exclaiming: “The studio has been working very hard on All Zombies Must Die! for some time; it is our most ambitious project to date and we are thrilled it will be in the hands of the public very soon. We are delighted to be publishing the XBLA version with Square Enix and look forward to working with them on the game’s launch.”

Some screenshots of the upcoming game have been passed onto us, so enjoy these images for now, while we wait for the game to be released on Xbox Live Arcade, this Winter season.
