XomB - Image 1


Like the endless horde that countless movies portray them as, zombies have seen a resurgence in gaming, the most recent one being XomB (pronounced "zombie") from 3G Studios.

Set in a re-imagined version of feudal Asia and drawing heavily from Asian mythology, XomB has the player fighting against a sweeping darkness that's forcibly corrupting the landscape and reanimating the dead.

The only release platform specified by 3G is the PC, but XomB's also supposed to come out on "next next-generation consoles and select handheld devices." 3G promises to release more info in the coming weeks.

Thanks to manas girdhar for the tip.

 » anything like l4d?

prolly not since they're not using half-life engine... and probably close to something like using the sword of Susano-O to hack those xombies away...
