The First Zombie announced for Nintendo Switch

Phoenixx has announced The First Zombie, a new title currently in development for the Nintendo Switch. Produced by Kentaro Fujii, known for Wednesday Downtown, the game is described as a “reverse” zombie experience.

Players take on the role of humanity’s first zombie with the goal of multiplying the undead rather than defeating them. The gameplay involves approaching humans to “make friends” and transform them, ultimately aiming to turn various districts of Tokyo, such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ueno, into zombie towns. A release date has not yet been announced.
