MMORPG veteran Jeff Strain today announced the formation of Undead Labs, a Seattle-based studio with a penchant for zombie titles. And, presumably, brains.

The studio’s sole focus will be to create the ultimate zombie MMO for console gamers with an emphasis on action and comedy. 

Former Blizzard and NCSoft man Jeff Strain left the latter last summer with the aim of building a new studio around some of the most talented individuals in the industry.

“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.”

We like the sound of a zombie MMO here at Incgamers, let us know what you’d like to see from Undead in the comments section below.
