Looking over some of the trademark documents, the one still active is the game itself which was used in commerce. The others that seem abandoned are for toys, game manuals etc. Guess only time will tell. Still, I'd rather another dev and publisher pick this up if Ubisoft is just gonna sit on it.
Yes. It was highly flawed, short on content, with inconsistent game balance.
But it was also very unique, very creative, very fun, with some good core game design. It needed another year in the oven to become a niche classic. It needed another pass at its game design, some more passes at balancing areas and encounters, and several more hours of content.
So I'd buy a sequel.

Fatal Frame 5 and ZombiU 2 in the same year on the Wii U would be awesome.

It would be so funny if the game was made By someone else than Ubisoft and eventually succeeded...

More than anything. Zombi U would be so fucking good.
Wow that throws out the Ubisoft owns the trademark argument
Maybe Nintendo and Bamco picked it up and is funding it

Why would they make a game called ZombiU for any other system than the Wii U?
for the meltdowns on gaf.
Zombie U2. Get those stars to cameo that are old enough to resemble the walking dead with minimal makeup required.

The first one wasn't that good, but if they made it I don't know if I'd be able to play it without the Gamepad. It'd feel weird.

Zombi U 2 without giving Ubisoft money would be the greatest thing ever. Not holding my breath for now though.

upon more research they do. There seems to be an active trademark yet for the current product, still available in eshop and in stores. I browsed more of the trademarks and Ubi, abandoned 6 or so more with ZombiU.
Each one for something specific like Toys, Game Manuals etc. When I first found the abandonment one, I figured it was software specific.
Still though, you never know... things could change.
They could do the same with Vita and Smartglass. It was a cool idea looking down at the pad and having to keep an eye out for zombies but they really could do that without the need for a second screen.
Would love to see another game and see what else they could do with the MP death mechanic stuff.
Pretty funny how everyone is totally ignoring that post.

... I found the whole scan mechanic wasn't that great.
It broke pacing. I'd do away with it for a sequel.

"Amazon France has previous form in accurately leaking game details before publishers are ready to reveal them. To date, its list of scalps include Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the Killzone Trilogy, the European-only Assassin's Creed Anthology, Grand Theft Auto V on PC and a PS4 bundle for The Last of Us: Remastered. All of these turned out to be accurate."
I didnt know they have been that accurate with leaks

Maybe they have time for more than one melee weapon this time.

Didnt they leak DKC TF delay too?
Seems like Bandai Namco and Nintendo are really buddy now, everything can happen.
I'll still believe because it's ZombiU and I really really want a sequel.

Wii U or the game's going to lose half of its interest for me.

I want this so badly that I can't let myself believe.
It not being true would kill me

Be still my heart. I love Zombi U. It's my favourite new IP in years. And the prospect of having it free from Ubisofts foul stinking clutches.... it's just too much for me.
It was Amazon US, and they leaked Cranky Kong
also the fact that the listed was removed is even more reason to think its real, stuff like Kid Icarus WiiU didnt get removed mostly because it just a mistake listing.

I would love if it had the the Watch_dog invade feature, where you can go into peoples game as a zombie and come after them
The other had when you die you show up in peoples games as a zombie with your equipment and they have to kill you and can take it but it was just the computer as your zombie self.
This time you should be able to be your zombie and if you kill them you take their stuff lol

i always see complaints about this and every time it surprises me how badly people seem to not comprehend what this game was...
So not only could this be true and coming out on Wii U, but it could also be released in a non-broken piece of shit state (aka a typical Ubisoft release)?
That post still doesnt explain why Ubisoft all of a sudden abandon the other trademarks earlier this year.
hey, I loved ZombiU, but a couple of extra melee weapons to add variety to your attacks wouldn't hurt.
I can understand to not be able to carry several melee weapons at the same time, but you should be able to choose another one depending on your play style.
something like this:
-Cricket Bat: Default
-Baseball Bat: Faster, less damage
-Knife: Fast, very short range, decent damage
-Katana: Slower than knife, nice range, nice damage, very hard to find, very easy to break
-Ax: Slower than the cricket bat, same range, more damage
-Crowbar: Fast and very nice range, nice damage, can get stuck on the enemies

Hmm. I wonder if this is ubisoft's infamous "finished game" that they were holding back? Damn, a sequel to this game with online multiplayer and more melee weapons/other gameplay improvements would be sooooooooooo good
Yeah, the original ZombiU is super underrated. If there is anyone with a Wii U and not this game, you should fix that immediately.

They abandoned them because they were sure they would not bother again with this ip....
I dont see why is this a source for optimism, unless i am missing something big..
This is exactly how I feel about ZombiU. So much that could've been better but nothing a sequel couldn't fix. I'd love a new ZombiU. Preferably on Wii U with tablet control.
Hrmm...possible but I actually think someone else showed interest in it during launch and Ubi just made a deal when it lapsed.

Nintendo could have bought the IP from Ubisoft and outsourced development to Bandai Namco. It's a slight possibility

The game actually started as Attack Of The Killer Rabbids From Outer Space, then turned into Killer Freaks from Outer Space, before the alien/freaks part came in, you were just shooting actual Rabbids because the devs were so tired of making Rabbid games.

The first game is still the only game I am interested in on the wii u. An exclusive sequel might push me over the edge on getting one....yes, for one game
