‘Zombi’ is Official and It’s Coming August 18
When ZombiU first released in 2012, it gave Wii U owners the rare opportunity to enjoy a genuinely frightening experience on a platform that, even three years later, doesn’t have a lot of options for fans of the horror genre. It’s been rumored that Ubisoft has been quietly working on updating the game for a multi-platform release, and now it’s been confirmed.
The new-and-improved Zombi will introduce a number of improvements, including a customizable field of view, improved controls, faster load times, and a new shovel and nail bat for crushing soft zombie heads, among other tweaks. Unfortunately, losing the extra screen provided by the Wii U’s GamePad, a required feature for the local multiplayer, forced them to sacrifice it.
“We decided to focus on the solo mode, as we believe this is where the ZombiU experience really lay,” says producer Hélène Henry. What’s more important to him is that they preserve “the general sense of claustrophobia, and not knowing what is coming next – at least for new players.
Zombi releases on August 18 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
