A listing for Zombie U 2 has been spotted on Amazon.fr. The listing has since been removed, but not before Jeuxvideo grabbed a couple of screens.

Interestingly, rather than a vague December 2015 date, the listing pointed towards a specific day: October 17, 2015. The listing also mentioned Bandai Namco as a publisher, which is very strange since the game was developed and published by Ubisoft.

 

[Miles X]

Wonder what platforms ... obviously not WiiU given Ubi's recent comments!

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Do not believe.

 

[MrPressStart]

Please be true... I loved the first one.

[Alcotholic]

what?
I thought they said it didnt do well enough to warrant a sequel.

I doubt it's real.

 

[Vampirolol]

Would buy on my Wii U.

 

[69wpm]

Don't do this to me!

Edit: Namco Bandai? Did they buy the IP? WTF.

 

[ugoo18]

Perhaps Nintendo footed the bill or the recent Smash sales convinced Ubisoft to go ahead (With Nintendo footing part of the bill) with the sequel.

 

[Mpl90]

...New York?

Where does that come from, Amazon?!?

if this is true I doubt it's on Wii U, which is sad

 

[Ian]

Please, please, please, please, please!

Spoiler

it'll never happen :-(

 

[chadskin]

VGA announcement?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Why does it say Bandai?

 

[Xater]

I really liked the first one. Would probably actually prefer it on the Wii U because it's one of the very few games that actually used it in interesting ways. Still the base concept would work on any system. With survival games being so hot on PC I don't know why Ubi didn't go into that direction even more with a sequel. Single player survival game on console? Count me in!

 

[oti]

:O

 

[Vinsanity.]

U2

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I doubt it's real.

Ubi also said they were sitting on a Wii U exclusive.

But Amazon France, take that shit with a mountain of salt.

Why does it say Bandai?

:lol

 

[Rich!]

Do not believe.

The very first mention of ZombiU was leaked through a listing on the ePOS system of Blockbuster UK (I was a store manager there at the time).

 

[SmokyDave]

That would get me to buy another Wii U for sure. I hope Nintendo have made it simple to sort out my NNID by then.

Oh man, if it's multiplat that would be even better.

 

[Aostia]

OOOOOH god, I LOVED the first one.
I thknk it would loose a lot without the second screen, but man if I'm not buying it DAY ONE no matter which platform it will be on! (obviously not Wii U, considering Ubi comments on the platform...unless Nintendo isn't helping with the development as for Red Steel 2)

Amazon.fr listed it for Wii U.

 

[Vuze]

Yeah... no.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Info since people didn't read the full article.

"The listing also mentioned Bandai Namco as a publisher..."
New York Setting.

Spoiler

Day fucking Zero if true.

 

[SerTapTap]

Doubt it. Though the game could really do with iterating. Some interesting ideas in a fairly janky package and a complete non-ending

Info since people didn't read the full article.



Day fucking Zero if true.

What? Namco? How on earth would that work?

 

[Tregard]

No belief.

(Although they did say they had a finished game waiting to go...)

 

[cafemomo]

If they are outsourcing the publisher to nacmo then I can see it being multiplat

 

[phanphare]

Amazon.fr listed it for Wii U.

oooooooooooo!

Zombie U 2 getting an E rating confirmed.

 

[KingSnake]

ZombieU2? Does it come free on every iPhone?

 

[Vidal]

Really would like to try ZombieU. I don't have a WiiU but the game looked so good.

 

[Rich!]

I dunno, Namco have just developed Smash Bros. Could be a deal of sorts.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The game can work on any platform minus the gampad stuff obviously, I figured ubisoft would be on the zombie train and release a sequel everywhere.

 

[j0hnnix]

Ugh... I hope its announced for the Xbox one... I loved the first ZU!

 

[JayEH]

Must be the finished Wii U game that Ubisoft is keeping hostage until sales pick up.

 

[Escalario]

I really doubt this is real. But if it is, changing the location from London to NY is a huge dissapointment. There really aren't many games with modern renditions of European cities. I would prefer something like Paris or Madrid as the location of the game.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Unless Ubi sold the IP to Bandai it is still a Ubi IP.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Same place that listed PS4 for PC? Sounds believable.

 

[James Scott]

Unless Nintendo is stepping in and funding it like Bayonetta 2 I don't see it happening just yet.
Would be cool to see, I guess. The first game was a broken mess with good ideas. With more polish and melee weapons maybe the second game can be great.

 

[BakkaGames]

Zombie U2

 

[Orniletter]

I want Jim Sterling to give his best Bono Vox impersonation in Zombi U2 .

GOAT confirmed .

 

[SerTapTap]

I really doubt this is real. But if it is, changing the location from London to NY is a huge dissapointment. There really aren't many games with modern renditions of European cities. I would prefer something like Paris or Madrid as the location of the game.

I just realized how incredibly boring and generic the game would be in a US city with American accents.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So you are telling me Mark Cerny will not be on sale on PC?

 

[WonderzL]

No belief.

(Although they did say they had a finished game waiting to go...)

Wasn't it a family game? This Amazon page makes no sense

It can't be called ZombiU then...

 

[Mpl90]

Ok, this is Amazon.fr and all, but...the listing actually has details about New York being the location. Now, was this the case with other "strange" Amazon.fr listings in the recent past? Did those had special details about the games listed? I mean, supposed brand new infos about the games?

 

[RaptorGTA]

Man I'm hoping but this is doubtful..and doubtful it will be a proper sequel on the Wii U. Would be awesome if true.

 

[SolidSnakex]

The listing also mentioned Bandai Namco as a publisher,

Why would UBI sell it and why would NAMCO want it?

 

[SmokyDave]

I just realized how incredibly boring and generic the game would be in a US city with American accents.

Sadly, I agree. I'd still play it, but I reckon I'd miss the London setting.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Would buy on any platform.. preferably PC/WiiU... doubt it's a thing though!
