One sec.

A listing for Zombie U 2 has been spotted on Amazon.fr. The listing has since been removed, but not before Jeuxvideo grabbed a couple of screens.

Interestingly, rather than a vague December 2015 date, the listing pointed towards a specific day: October 17, 2015. The listing also mentioned Bandai Namco as a publisher, which is very strange since the game was developed and published by Ubisoft.

Namco could simply be the game’s distributor in the region, or could be the new owner of the IP, albeit very unlikely. There is also a mention of New York as a setting for the sequel. The original game was set in London.

There's probably one key reason why this wouldn't happen on Wii U, can you remember what that is? So it's probably multi if it were a thing.

That was a "rumour" from last year wasn't it?

Yeah early work began on a sequel, then Ubisoft told us 2 months later they scrapped it.

According to the link and the image and everything, and the name, it looks like it's a Wii U exclusive, if true. They might have complained about the sales in the past, and dropped all support, but stranger things have happened. They could have been approached by Nintendo, changed their mind etc. Don't think it's true but if it is, it is likely still a Wii U only game.

Didn't Ubi say they had a game completed but shelved for the Wii U? Maybe this is related, who knows?

I don't think Zombi U2 fits the bill on what game they're holding back, unless families are into this sort of stuff.

The shelved game mentioned during E3 was a family game. I can't see a reason why Ubisoft would have developed a ZombieU2 game themselves, and then let Bandai Namco distribute it.

Well done Sir

I really hope this is true but I don't believe it to be. I really liked ZombiU. It had some flaws but considering everything the game went through in development, I thought it was pretty well done and a sequel could correct a few of the flaws and make for a great horror game!

"Amazon France has previous form in accurately leaking game details before publishers are ready to reveal them. To date, its list of scalps include Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the Killzone Trilogy, the European-only Assassin's Creed Anthology, Grand Theft Auto V on PC and a PS4 bundle for The Last of Us: Remastered. All of these turned out to be accurate."

Not really finding it believable, to be honest. It's mainly because of Bandai Namco publishing it, unless of course Ubisoft sold them the rights to Zombi U.

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...

If true, id preorder immediately. Loved the first one. Wasnt perfect, but it was a lot of fun. Game could have used a few more months of polishing..but still a great game. One of my favs so far this gen.
So want this to happen, but the realist in me knows it probably wont.

It just seems so odd to be announced like this...when Ubisoft clearly stated they're not working on another one

It'll be renamed Zombi 2 as a multiplatform title as it will be made with or without U.

Ha ha ha. Good one.
There's a 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' joke in there somewhere that my wit isn't sharp enough to come up with.

If this is true, my only doubts are the exclusivity.
After all, isn't the Wii U where 3rd Party games go to die?
