ZombiU Box Art And New Trailer Are Far From Family Friendly

Posted on Friday, August 31 @ 15:30:00 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

ZombiU is easily one of the most anticipated titles among the Wii U's launch lineup. As one of the few titles that really makes use of the Wii U GamePad in interesting and innovative ways, there's plenty of reason to be hyped for Ubisoft's upcoming first-person zombie shooter.

To gear up for its launch, the publisher has released a new trailer for the game as well as the official cover art. The video (above) showcases gameplay from a level set in Buckingham Palace and provides all the brutal violence and gore you'd expect from a title in this genre.

Here's the North American box art.


Is it just me or does the cover art for Europe look a whole lot more awesome?
Why is it that those of us in the U.S. always get stuck with the crappy cover art? Do developers really think that we have such terrible taste?

    I read somewhere about this sort of thing regarding box art. If I remember correctly, NA box artwork tend to showcase the main characters more often as they are usually seen as the main appeal of the work. Box art in other regions tend to either just use the logos as a stand alone or use different visuals.

    Which is funny because despite being an American, I prefer PAL or JP box art.

    Interesting use of the controller screen, hopefully there will be content to differentiate it from L4D and Zombie Island.

    While I'm looking forward to ZombiU, I also looked forward to Red Steel. Now I look back on it in shame.

    The controller almost looks like more a hinderance than a asset. Having to switch viewing from the tv to your controller so much seems like a recipe for turning you into zombie burgers.

    The controller will not be the issue how subpar this game will be. Let me tell everyone that the controller for the WiiU is fine.

    The demo I played was about 20 to thirty mins and I got to say melee is overpowered and gunplay isn't really needed at all.
