Wideload Games Unearths Stubbs The Zombie

Cross-platform game publishers Aspyr Media, and Wideload Games, the new development team comprised of Alexander Seropian and former Bungie Studio employees, have revealed the developer’s first title: Stubbs the Zombie in “Rebel without a Pulse”.

The game, delivering “a stirring tale of one man’s hunger for love, justice…and brains”, is a third-person action title built on an updated version of the Halo game engine. Players will assume the roll of Stubbs, the wisecracking Zombie, as he attempts to overwhelm the ultra-modern city of Punchbowl, PA, in his personal quest for truth, justice, revenge, and, eventually, true love.

The title, featuring enhanced versions of Halo’s graphics and artificial intelligence engines, will feature new pixel shaders and screen effects to round off the game’s cinematic look. The title, currently under development for the Mac, PC, and Xbox platforms, is expected to be unleashed to the public in the summer of 2005.
