Here we are again. Another fall gaming release season, and like clockwork, a new Assassin’s Creed appears on the shelves. Ubisoft achieves this feat by rotating each edition among its developers.

Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier exclusively for the Wii U system from Nintendo, ZombiU delivers an immersive survival-horror experience, bringing players into a post-infected London circa 2012.

In the game, an outbreak has infected the population turning them into mindless monsters preying on the flesh of the few remaining survivors. This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the best elements 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 take down their old, infected characters and recover their life-saving equipment.

ZombiU is rated “M” for mature by the ESRB, and will be available on November 18.
