Think you have what it takes to take on hordes of flesh eating zombies?  No, this is not a LFD2 post.  Undead Labs, based in Seattle, recently opened the gates with the announcement of a Zombie MMO.

Jeff Strain, founder of Undead Labs, certainly has the pedigree to take on this type of endeavor.  A veteran in the game industry, he has worked on popular hits such as Guild Wars, Diablo, Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

“Every time I see a good zombie movie with friends, we spend days debating our strategies for surviving the zombie apocalypse,” said Strain. “The police station, or the supermarket? Garden rake, or staple gun? Bach, or the White Stripes? I’m a game developer, so I’d probably be useless for anything other than ghoul bait, but I’m excited to have the opportunity to build an MMOZ that lets us put those strategies to the test and find out for sure.”

With the influx of Zombie related media coming out these days, I guess it was only a matter of time before a zombie MMO came out.  The potential for this title is massive and we’ll certainly be keeping an eye out on developments as they come along.  However, don’t expect anything anytime soon, this is still in the very early stages of development.
