Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game Reveals Superhero Undead & X-Men
Board game makers CMON and Spin Master Games have released new details about Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game, which will allow players to either fend off an army of undead superheroes as the Uncanny X-Men or conquer the world as the meta-powered zombie hoard. Marvel has seen a new wave of success on the gaming front in recent years, thanks to successful video game titles like Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man series and Square Enix’s Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, in addition to promising future releases like Marvel’s Midnight Sunsand Marvel’s Wolverine.
Marvel Zombies is a 2005 comic book miniseries by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman where, as the title implies, the world’s superheroes are infected with a zombie virus from another dimension — and much chaos ensues for Earth’s few remaining survivors. The storyline would spawn many follow-ups and even get an MCU adaptation in the Marvel: What If? animated series. A Marvel Zombies spin-off is currently planned for Disney Plus, but there's even more scope for Marvel zombies in gaming.
