ZombiU Remastered

ZombiU Remastered is a remake of ZombiU, created by PolisKaniner and published by Nintendo. Like the original, it is a Wii U exclusive game.

Gameplay

ZombiU Remastered's gameplay remains similar to ZombiU, and is therefore still a first-person survival horror game, with shooter elements. ZombiU Remastered introduces open-world elements. The player uses the Wii U Gamepad to perform multiple tasks throughout the game. Jobs have been redesigned to make the game more fun.

Jobs

In ZombiU, jobs didn't mean anything and just tried to create a backstory for your character. In ZombiU remastered, your job impacts your character's skills and abilities.

Job Title	Advantages
Athlete	Higher stamina
Boxer	Stronger Melee attacks Takes less damage from punches, but vision goes blurry after many hits
Dancer	Higher agility
Doctor	Can heal self
Electrician	Faster hacking ability Faster at starting up cars
Police Officer	Police cars do not need hacking Can turn off some alarms Starts with a baton
YouTuber	Nothing really, makes jokes from time to time.

Character Creation

Upon the first launch, or after you die, you will be brought to the character creation screen. You will not be able to create the same character again on the same save file.

Setting

ZombiU Remastered is set in a zombie-infested London. Many changes have been made to the setting since ZombiU. Many locations have been changed to look more like London in real life, to make the game more realistic. Unlike ZombiU, ZombiU Remastered has open-world elements, and the whole map of London is loaded during the game's first load, similar to "The Crew". This means rather than sitting through a loading screen, the player has to travel to the location on foot or by vehicle.

Plot

The game's plot remains similar to ZombiU, but has been slightly altered.

Full Plot TBA

Multiplayer

While the main story mode has a drop-in offline and online multiplayer mode, some modes are exclusive to multiplayer.

Multiplayer Modes

Killer Freaks

In this game mode, both players play as survivors. It can be played Online, split screen, with one player on the tv and the other on the gamepad or in single player. This mode is based on "Killer Freaks from Outer Space", a game that was canceled, and later became ZombiU. In this game mode, survivors work as a team against the "Killer Freaks from Outer Space" aliens, instead of zombies. The game is round-based, where the survivors attempt to survive as many rounds as possible.

Maps

All three gamemodes feature the same playable maps.
