We have known that Soldak Entertainment was working on a zombie-focused action-RPG for a while, but the official announcement had to wait until today. The action-RPG is titled Zombasite, it takes place in a seemingly traditional fantasy setting, and is going to include a co-op mode and the sort of ancillary mechanics that separate Soldak's titles from the standard action-RPG fare.
A quote from the website's overview page:
The dark elves have always played god by creating and enhancing underworld slave creatures. As they watched a horde of zombies destroy the huge demon city Kraval, the dark elves were tantalized by the devastating power of uncontrolled zombies, and desired to control and increase it. When they wove their dominating magic into a few captive zombies something went horribly wrong!
They hadn't known the powerful necromancer, Ciglio, had created these zombies. To control his huge armies of undead, Ciglio permanently bound his zombies and their infected victims to him. This binding was so powerful, their loyalty surpassed his untimely death. In the dark elves' pride and lust, their magic twisted into Ciglio's binding, fusing into a new, uncontrollable creation, the Zombasite.
Zombasite is a nasty, voracious, all-consuming Zombie Parasite. It doesn't just reanimate the dead into mindless zombies. It is intelligent, insatiable, and unstoppable infecting and killing the living, spreading faster and in more ways, helping the dead utilize many of their original skills, and mutating the dead with new powers. Dark elf zombies are terrifying!
Zombasite is slated to be released on Windows PC, Mac and Linux in the 2nd quarter of 2015. We'll make sure to share more details as soon as we learn them.
