Massively-multiplayer online game developer Undead Labs has announced that its long ago revealed zombie MMO, now codenamed Class3, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and will be published by Microsoft Game Studios.
“Undead Labs is thrilled to work directly with Microsoft to bring Xbox 360 players an outstanding zombie-survival franchise,” Undead Labs founder Jeff Strain said in a statement today. “Our mission is to create original online games that truly feel at home on the console platform, and Xbox 360 is a fantastic platform for online console gaming. We plan to create an ambitious open world XBLA game and use its gameplay, setting, and technology as the foundation for a full online world game.”
Class3 will give players the chance to live out a zombie apocalypse in the virtual comfort of an MMO setting, complete with “sweet guns, fast cars, hand-to-hand combat, and copious amounts of zombie gore.” Players will also have to join together to design and build settlements, embarking on raids to secure food and ammunition, and rescuing other survivors.
One of the most compelling elements is that the game world changes in real-time and content becomes available depending on what players are doing. I’m not really sure exactly what this means in terms of gameplay, but I love the idea of a constantly evolving, zombie-filled open-world to explore and inhabit. Don't you?
Hopefully, we’ll hear more about Class3 in the coming months.

Sweet about time they make a zombie mmo. May be small being on xbla but its a start.

An MMO on XBox Live?... That is very very very intriguing...
I would say they would have to have a Free Two months of it maybe before they start a subscription (unless they find a way to add in real adds into the game ala Rainbow Six style) but even then the subscription price would be very... tricky...

But i remember the staff at G4 saying not to long ago on feed back that they are really tired of the zombie stuff and now it's back in style?

This was the kind of idea that got me excited for Alan Wake, which was supposed to be open world in the beginning but thankfully switched to being more linear. The idea is solid and I can't wait to see if they pull it off.

This seems a little to ambitious to be real. It sounds awesome but odds are it will either be delayed to infinity and beyond or end up subject to peter molyneux type promises, and their subsequent let downs.

Their logo looks like they're giving us the finger

A Zombie MMO does sound very interesting, I await to see some gameplay videos and hopefully a demo. I doubt there would be monthly fees (aside from paying for xbox live gold), MMOs can be free to play just look at Guild Wars

Are these fast zombies or slow zombies or a mix?
