We didn’t know too much about ZombiU’s multi-player except it borrowed some of the elements shown in the Killer Freaks From Outer Space demo from E3 2011…
Time Attack
- race to see how many zombies you can kill and points you can score
- do this until time runs out
- score and times are posted to leaderboards
Survival
- hold out as long as you can
- work with limited resources
- score and times are posted to leaderboards
Zombie King
- player vs. player
- one as survivor and one as the Zombie King
- survivor has to capture three flags across the map while fighting off zombies
- ammo and health are very limited
- Zombie King uses the GamePad to look at a top down view of the map
- deploy different zombie units across the map to both kill the survivor and capture flags
- only have up to eight zombies at a time
- different units cost resources to deploy
- Trackers can sense where the survivor is and hunt them down
- armor clad zombies are resistant to gun fire
- there are zombies that ignore the survivor altogether and focus on capturing flags
- recall deployed zombies to regain a portion of their cost
- care packages are strewn about the map that will drop ammo and health
