Gabrielle Shrager from Ubisoft Montpellier has shared information about the multiplayer modes in ZombiU. Shrager says that ZombiU offers a local Asymmetric Multiplayer mode, rather than online modes, and that the single player mode of the game is deeply integrated with an online app that makes you feel less alone in the dark foreboding atmosphere of ZombiU.
ZombiU offers a local Asymmetric Multiplayer mode rather than online modes. So you can play with your friends using the Wii U GamePad and the Pro Controller in your couch. What is the multiplayer mode about: The ‘King of Zombies’ has organized his own sadistic London games to entertain his bloodthirsty subjects… Play as King Boris on the WiiU tablet, crazed boss of a violent gang and self-proclaimed ‘King of the Zombies’, and beat all survivors…one by one! Or play as a Survivor and attempt to outwit the King of Zombies and his brain-dead ‘gladiators’!
With SURVIVORS VS KING OF ZOMBIES, ZombiU features one-on-one competitive multiplayer modes, which tasks one player with controlling zombie hordes (Infected Units) using the Wii U GamePad, while the other player fights to survive in FPS view with either Wii controllers or the new Pro Controller. The multiplayer features 3 exhilirating game modes including assault, deathmatch and survival modes.
SURVIVORS VS KING OF ZOMBIES, is full-fledged multiplayer experience, with deep gameplay that will provide many hours of fun. The Wii U allowed us to create an exhilarating experience that can be shared by a hardcore gamer and a more casual player-friend or family member, without the latter becoming completely outmatched. Unlike the campaign, which offers a solo Survival Horror FPS experience, the ‘King of Zombies’ player uses the Wii U GamePad at a more relaxed pace. The gameplay is more about overall strategy than any gamer reflexes honed over years…so it’s more immediately accessible. Our multiplayer modes are also a bridge for new players to get into the game before they acquire the courage to face the Infected hordes alone, while offering a more traditional first-person shooter experience using the Wii U Pro Game Controller or Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Even survival-horror fans will love blowing off some steam with a little running and gunning!
Thanks, Gamenchick
:(
I agree. These modes sounds awesome, but so heartbreaking that Nintendo still is not embracing online gameplay. No first-party titles have it. How great would it be just to play online multi-player Mario? It’s not asking for the moon.
Id love nsmbu with online multiplayer because I don’t have anyone to play with that is really good at the game. Especially since the people I know that are getting the wiiu live four hours from me.
That actually sounds pretty fun.
My body is so ready for ZombiU!

Old video but still hilarious lol
I don’t see how two months is old.
LMAO
dwl….lol.lmao…. ha hahahaha haha ha hah ahahah
How long until Nintendo actually does that? That ad would convince me to buy bottled air!
Not bat.
Since playing ZombiU at E3 and everytime I hear new stuff about it, I get more excited!

lmao
god dammit imadori
This game looks awesome !!! so psyched for it !!! I am getting zombiu deluxe bundle , So I hope this game is awesome!
Reblogged this on Nintendo Wire.
That does sound really fun, however there’s no online, which is kind of disappointing
Gaytendo for lif ass hiools fuck every one other than sicker :] because he has his p[enis penetrted in everyones anus..
Don’t put the blame on Nintendo, Siegfried… blame it on Ubisoft. Nintendo has nothing to do with that game.
Ass ole Im Jamie Not the other german dude xD
I … my IQ just perished after reading this gibberish.
No fuckig online fuck nitendo for reaklz..
thats ubisofts fault you dumbass
Can you use Wiimote on the main campaign?
Doesn’t look like it, from the trailers it seems the Gamepad is the main aspect of the game.
Well im not buying this for multiplayer or online, not a fan of online anyway other than Borderlands, Mario Kart/Burnout, COD (back i the day), so no biggy.
Whilst this does sound fun, this game could really benefit from a cooperative online multiplayer mode of some sort, but I’m sure the single player, and the rest of the game, will be fine :)
Hopefully they’ll be more ambitous if this is a success and then they do a co-op sequel….but then all the L4D fanboys will bombard it -.-
Hopefully, I will definitely buy the sequel if that’s the case. But Left 4 Dead more of a wave based FPS with zombies rather than a survival horror, anyone who complains of the game being like L4D if it ever comes into existence is in idiot.
Oh wait, we’re on the Internet, and I point to the angry Bayonetta 2 haters -_-
I’m not really into online so that’s fine. And this does sound like fun clever multiplayer that makes good use of the game pad. But I still demand a 4-player co-op mode.
So is the local multiplayer only 1 vs. 1 or can it support 1 vs. 3/4 too?
No Fucking online seriously? Does ANY launch fuck have online capability?
Only motivation to buy the Wii U was the increased online stuff on Nnintendo machines. Yet none of them uses any online capabilities.
Fuck’s sake, Nintendo. You blow the online again, and I’m done with you.
Sorry, not the oNLY motivation, but one of the most significant for sure.
+1 thats why I told alll my friends not top buy the damn shit and trust me they arent any more…
Oh all your fake make believe friends?
No jorge enrique falcao ramos pedro juen and tacun those friends mother fucker e__e
Sorry dude, but your poor Mexican friends couldn’t afford it anyway.
Oh yeah, I just went there.
You must have bin in a poor part of Mexico I bet my family income is 10 times bigger than yours do they own a fucking pawn shop and do they give you 1000 US Dlls every month? fuck no so go to hell :] my friends are also upper middle class so fuck you even one of them is Japanese…. Up yours :D
YEAH ! TAKE THAT! WERE MIDDLE CLASS MOTHER FUCKER!
Now your just listing Latin American names…
Your star war collection toys aren’t real! They are toys get for crying out loud! Get out of that basement and play outside go out and meet human beings.
Yeah, because online is played regularly in more than 2-3 games…wait.
Seriously, if this had online, it wouldnt be around long.
The problem with online on any other game, is that you NEED to be co-operative. You CANNOT do that if you’re online and with high chance of going online with people who dont speak your language. What if you went on NintendoLand (just an example), and you need to work together. Well you cant unless everyone speaks english.
Online is NOT the primary source of gaming. I actually wish they didnt have tack on online with this game, its a waste of time and money, or use it to make the single player campaign better. The WiiU has COD, that a MASSIVE chunk of the online fanbase, from the start.
Ps3 doesnt have Halo, argueably the biggest online multiplayer contributer. Do people still own ps3’s? Yes. Do they care about Halo? Not neccessarily. The lack of tack on online is not a negative feature for the console
With online multiplayer, usually the server has a way to set a preference language and sets you up with players that speak the same language. Also L4D a game that exists entirely to incorporate strong coop gameplay that is necessary for survival in game, works great with online multiplayer.
Lots of the launch titles have online you ignorant piece of turd .
DO SOME RESEARCH ! there is about 8 online games at launch
BLACK OPS 2 HAS ONLINE AND ZOMBIES IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER? THAT’S WHAT IM GETTING :)
Lots of ports.
For the 100th time, 360 launch line up. Bitch, please.
Old excuse is old. Ports are the only games with online play. Embarrassing.
Sega and Sonic Allstars racing has online and its not a port
Aelous please respond to me.Why are you here?What do you have to gain from it?And why do you hate nintendo so much.Nintnedo doesn’t make baby games,just because it isn’t violent, doesn’t means it’s kiddy.
I dont know anyone can view games where you slice creatures with a sword, blast aliens literally to pieces/melt them/disinergrate them and get splatter on your visor, fly a space fighter and blow up enemies, take part in a literal death race in space and blow up other players, and an RPG where am enemy was a warped fetus, a variety of other hardcore RPG’s, and say, “Nintendo makes baby games”
IKR?!?!?!
+ 1 , Throw 1080 snowboarding and waverace and many others and you hit the nail on the head .
Did Nintendo make ZombiU? No.
Did Nintendo make Bayonetta 2? No.
ACIII? Nope.
Everything else you’ve listed doesn’t even have that much violence, you very rarely see any sort of gore in Zelda or Metroid, the latter may have an excuse due to the enemies being alien life and concussive/plasma based weaponry burning them to bits. For the FINAL FUCKING TIME, GIYGAS WAS NOT A GODDAMN “FETUS”, YOU FUCKING IDIOT.
Nintendo does not make games that display a realistic amount of violence. Get over it already.
Also, what “death race”? I think you’re confusing WipeOut with F-Zero, the latter has no weapons and the only way you can “blow up” enemies is by relying on a pretty much useless mechanic to bump them off the tracks or damage them ever so slightly.
You fanboys need to shut the fuck up and get over what Nintendo caters to, babies.
You still didn’t answer…. why are you doing this.
Bayonetta 2 is being published and funded by Nintendo, they are basically paying another developer to make the game for the, exclusively. Same with ninja gaiden, just because they personally don’t make it doesn’t mean they don’t want/aren’t interested
since your talking about babies aeolus lets talk about how your mother swallowed mines
Notice how it doesn’t respond to comments like these…
He never does because he is too scared to.
Hmm so multiplayer modes have been confirmed for zombie u and nintendo land but offline not online. A huge missed opportunity. Are nintendo unconfident with their nintendo network?
Ask Ubisoft… You know, the developers of the game. It is up to the developers if they want to use it or not.
Nintendo Land is in the same category as Mario Party, super fun locally, loses its goal when on-line.
Think before you comment. Those are just launch titles, don’t expect anything meaningful…
No, its just pointless adding them really. Mario Kart has a very strong online mode. Nintendo can do online, they just chose not to with NintendoLand, and i think it was the right choice.
As for ZombiU, the multiplayer shouldnt even be there in the first place, it should just be the single player experience. ZombiU wouldnt be able to compete with Black Ops 2 Zombies anyway. Anyone who buys ZombiU will play it once and forget it, it should be there.
But Assassins Creed 3 has online, and a pretty good one at that.
Again, its just down to the choice of the developer, and the type of game it is.
And by play ot once and forget it, i was referring to the multiplayer.
Just another Nintendo apologist post.
Seriously … why are you still here? You’re worse than the fanboys on this page :/ and that’s just sad.
Disappointing.. I was hoping NSMBU would have online, but seeing this, it probably won’t hold true. I’m starting to see a dark future with the core gaming market for them if they don’t get that ONLINE GAMING IS A NORM TODAY. Come on, it’s 2012, and yes, I’m aware that it’s Ubisoft developing it, but almost every other recent Ubisoft title has online. Why would a new survival horror shooter not have any? Something wrong with the online servers? Are they not investing in any of this other than passive internet use through the Miiverse?
Lots of wiiu launch titles are fully online , it’s just the developers havent had long time to make these launch titles .
Give them som time . Tekken tag 2 , fifa 13 , madden , ME3 , cod blops 2 , sonic and al stars racing , and a few others are all online for wiiu launch .
Give the console a chance to take off .
AC3 and I think Tank!(x3) too
+ 2 (x3)
Hm sounds interesting and fun, however online would do it justice and complete the experience
That sure does sound like an interesting multiplayer. And about the online, do we have any idea if it was Nintendo’s or Ubisoft’s decision to not have it? Does seem like a missed opportunity………
It’s really on Ubisoft’s head if ZombiU is omitted online features.
Yeah total disspointment, because fallout, elder scrolls, amnesia, dark souls dont have online multiplayer and THEY SUCK SO BAD know what i mean?
Ikr -.- i prefer single player games, although i like co-op games like Borderlands 2 (which needs to hurry the fuck up coming out in the UK), Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, even Gears of War was fun with my brother.
Although i would like to see online for Star Fox, that could be epic, but as long as its done well, not just a tack on multiplayer. Nintendo should hire Bungie to make a multiplayer, seeing as theyre free from Microsoft now.
I am pretty sure there will be other zombie games for the Wii U. People really need to pipe down to be honest.
I am looking forward to what gets thrown out and some people are whinging about it.
This site is for those looking for Nintendo news. Not some site looking for people demoralising. Nintendo when it’s Ubisoft making this game.
Would love to see the whingers create something better.
CoD Blops 2 has got zombies
That’s the point I am trying to prove…
Cosign
Just thought id leave a list of games that have online multiplayer at the WiiU’s launch:
Assassins Creed 3
Black Ops 2
Tekken Tag 2
Tank Tank Tank
Mass Effect 3 (very addictive)
Sega All Stars Racing
Fifa 13
Madden (for the yanks)
“Herpa derp, i no buy wiiu coz it got no online, fail”
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Everyone wants to be a critic, but they won’t put or shut up. Let’s see them make a system better than the Wii Universe or don’t bother with Ninten at all if they’re that unsatisfied.
And all of those besides that Tank bullshit are: surprise! PORTS OF GAMES THAT WILL BE ON OTHER PLATFORMS.
Yes you are right…… WHO CARES! Every single system ever gets these games and online. The only first party titles for any console are very slim to none. Microsoft has online in their first party games because they are all shooters that fit the online brainless gameplay people today are accustomed to. Sony has the same issues, and when they do make a good Single Player game it rarely has online.
My main point is, WHO CARES IF THEY ARE PORTS, name me more than a few games COMING to Xbox and PS3 that aren’t that have good online.
Shut up, Meg.
Yea they’re ports, what’s your point apart that you’re the biggest whinger on this site?
Im getting ZombiU AND CoD BO 2 so i dont care, zombi u better single player a true survial horror, CoD for online games and intense action, the perfect duo if you like First person games to get at Wii U’s launch
Not y perfect duo, but certainly pretty good :p
Metroid prime works perfectly without online , so THIS
also BO 2 wil have zombies so this wii u’s launch will be like a zombie fever for me online and offline :DDD
I was thinking about this game. But because of the “king of Zombies” thing. Im sold.
Pingback: Nintenderos.com – Wii U, 3DS, Wii, DS, Videojuegos y Consolas Nintendo | Revelados los modos multijugador de ZombiU
too bad some of the multiplayer modes in killer freaks didn’t make it to zombi U they looked really fun
what? are you serious? two generations of dumbass online with nintendo? no thanks im out
Are you serious? Because if you are then you should not buy a Wii U, leave them for the rest of us to enjoy and get the fuck off a Nintendo orientated site you complete moron.
oh my a game with a zombie Boris Johnson. could this be the best game of the wii u’s launch the answer most probably yes
Hmm.
You guys gotta remember, Zombi U is NOT Left 4 Dead or DeadSpace, it’s a True Survival horror game, so super competitive online play like L4D and DeadSpace would’nt fit the genre.
Those 3 modes looks awesome, but I think, they had to put a online mode !
I’m just excited to see a mulit-player mode. I hope they put an online mode in a sequel if they make it.
why cant game developers be more like those taco ads…. why can’t we have both!
AH =HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMM BIG FAT CORE GAMER AH-HHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM
IL BE PLAYING A FPS MULTI PLAYER WITH NO WII REMOTE AND NUNCHUCK NO I WONT UBISOFT YOU JUST LOST A SALE
Pingback: Cliff Bleszinski Loves Nintendo, And Will Be Watching The Wii U Closely | My Nintendo News
The reason it doesn’t have online multiplayer is the fact that they want to show off the idea that you can play in the same room but use two different views and play in two very different ways. If it was done online it wouldn’t be as impressive, because you wouldn’t be able to see the other persons TV anyways.
The reason Nintendoland is local multiplayer is for the same reason, as well as bringing people together in the same room again to play games, which is always more intense and more fun. It’s the reason the Miiverse exists as well, so that even when playing single player modes you’ll feel connected, and will be able to share the experience with others.
Don’t say they’ve failed online until you actually get your hands on it and experience the system as a whole and get to know what the Miiverse is really all about.
