Undead Labs, recently founded and headed by Jeff Strain formerly of NCSoft and Blizzard (Starcraft, Diablo, WoW), today announced their goal to create the definitive massively multiplayer online zombie game (MMOZ) for consoles.

Undead Labs is committed to bringing to life (or bringing unlife to) an MMO loaded with action, humor and, of course, a whole lotta zombies, because the world doesn’t need more dragon. Personally I’m not sure the world even needs more zombies at this point and we certainly don’t need any zombies in World War II.

Strain left NCsoft last summer to build a creative studio around the most talented – and zombie loving – developers in the industry, and to pioneer a new development model that will create a new breed of MMO built from the ground-up for console gamers.

“Every time I see a good zombie movie with friends, we spend days debating our strategies for surviving the zombie apocalypse,” said Strain. “The police station, or the supermarket? Garden rake, or staple gun? Bach, or the White Stripes? I’m a game developer, so I’d probably be useless for anything other than ghoul bait, but I’m excited to have the opportunity to build an MMOZ that lets us put those strategies to the test and find out for sure.”

Jeff, if you’re reading this, you have to call it More Brains Online because something like Zombie Invasion or ZombieWorld would be too cliche.
