Zombies are on their way out. We’ve all heard someone predict the nearing end of the popular genre at some point. Whether it’s been to our face, or whispered in dark alleys, for some reason, people think zombies are going somewhere. What we know that they don’t, is the zombie genre is only getting bigger. Never before have the undead permeated every facet of entertainment so thoroughly, from books, to films, video games, and even Detroit. There’s a lot going on right now when it comes the hungry undead and their seemingly bottomless appetite for all things human, but we’re here to touch on the video games. Read on for the definitive list of the twelve most exciting upcoming zombie games.

It started off as a mod for Arma II, but later this year Day Z will be getting its very own standalone release, courtesy of Arma developer Bohemia Interactive and the original mod’s creator. We first heard about it in August, and now we know the game is coming later this year. It’s a nebulous window, but not everyone has been happy with Resident Evil 6, so perhaps this could be another chance for disgruntled gamers to get their zombie fix. Who here’s interested in the game? I was just about to play the mod, but knowing a standalone game is just around the corner has kept me from pulling the trigger on that.

Unless you’ve found a group of survivors to hang with, Day Z can be a pretty lonely game. Soon that will no longer be the case, as the next update will bring with it a much-needed level of companionship in the form of dogs. Before you get too excited, these furry friends aren’t only here to make your job of surviving in Day Z’s zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world a little easier. Having a dog as an ally means you’ll have another mouth to feed, a life outside of your own that you’ll be responsible for, and the inevitable happen and Fido falls at the teeth of a zombie or by the bullet of another player, the loss is definitely going to suck. I imagine it’ll feel something like losing Agro in Shadow of the Colossus. There are still nights where I awaken, doused in a cold sweat, calling Agro’s name. My therapist says this is totally normal. What’s also normal, cool even, is if you were to click that Read More button so you can watch a substantial bit of gameplay from the next update.

By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the post-apocalyptic zombie mod Day Z, which has gained momentum over the last four months as gamers have flocked to see what it’s all about. It’s quickly become a big reason to check out the military simulator Arma II–the game it’s a mod for–and Arma developer Bohemia Interactive is well aware of this. The developer has announced it’s working on a standalone game based on the mod that will follow Minecraft’s model by releasing “fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price.” If you’d rather continue enjoying the mod, fear not, as they’ll continue updating it while the standalone game is in development. Has anyone here had the chance to play Day Z yet, and if you have, what do you think?
