Just when you thought that the industry's obsession with the undead was over, Ubisoft has seemingly decided to re-release one-time Wii U exclusive ZombiU on the PlayStation 4. The port was touted earlier in the year, and the rumour was reinforced due to an Australian ratings board. However, a classification on a Taiwanese website has all but confirmed the adaptation, as it comes with a fresh piece of artwork.

As expected, the title will be known simply as Zombi on Sony's new-gen system, which solves one of the main problems related to bringing the release to alternate hardware. What's still unclear is how the developer's going to get around the Gamepad issue, as this was very much built with Nintendo's dual-screen device in mind. PlayStation Vita compatibility is certainly possible, but seems somewhat unlikely.

Despite being a Wii U launch title, Ubisoft rather publicly pointed out that the package failed to even break even. This port has likely been conceived to recoup some of those costs, then – but we can't imagine the PlayStation fanbase will be clamouring to give this a go. After all, zombie games are dime a dozen on Sony's system – and with better titles like The Last of Us Remastered in the console's catalogue, will there really be a market for these sloppy seconds?
