A “Reverse” Zombie Game Where Zombies Save the World
Produced by Kentaro Fujii (Wednesday Downtown)!
A zombie game where the protagonist is humanity’s very first zombie!?
With a mission to “lead humanity to a brand-new stage,” the one who has arrived on the streets of Tokyo is…
Don’t kill zombies. Multiply them.
In this game, your objective isn’t to defeat zombies, but to increase their numbers.
Approach the humans just going about their daily lives, “make friends” with them, and turn them into zombies.
Grow your undead horde and flood the city streets with your new companions!
The stage is Tokyo. Turn it into a city of the undead.
Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ueno… Conquer each district with your horde and transform them into zombie towns!
Tokyo Game Show 2026 runs from September 17 to 21 at the Makuhari Messe venue in Chiba, Japan.
