ZombiU PlayStation 4 PS4

Wii U exclusive ZombiU was rumoured to be in production for the PlayStation 4 prior to E3 2015, but Ubisoft's press conference failed to kick out confirmation. Now, however, a listing for a title named Zombi has infected the Australian ratings boards – and it's published by the aforementioned French firm. Surely this is no coincidence.

The game is actually only listed for the Xbox One at the moment, which could hint at shenanigans seeing as the classifications company generally lists multiformat games as just that. Of course, it's also possible that a potential PS4 version has yet to pass through certification yet; it seems highly unlikely that Microsoft would pucker up the funds to ensure "exclusivity" for a franchise this niche.

Either way, assuming that this does come to Sony's machine, it's going to be really interesting to see how it operates on non-Nintendo hardware; the original was, of course, built around the features and functionality of the Game Pad. We know that the PS4 can use the PlayStation Vita as a controller – but we doubt that Ubisoft would take advantage of that. After all, if this port does come to fruition, the publisher will presumably be looking to make back its initial investment – and it won't do that by mandating compatibility with the Japanese giant's unpopular portable.
