House of the Dead: Overkill was just an appetiser, apparently. The real Zombie Apocalypse is coming. At least, according to a new entry on the Classification Board’s website, there’s a game by that very name in development at Nihilistic Software and being published by Konami. No word on what type of game it is or even what platform it’s coming to, as the Board helpfully lists it as “multi-platform” just like they do for almost every single game. We’re asking questions of Konami’s Australian distributor, Atari, right now.

Also of note, Dragonball: Origins has now been re-rated after previously being recalled from sale for an unexpected “pants-down” scene. DBZ fans should see return to retail shortly.
