Andrew Hume and Richard Clifford are here to tell us about Space Pirates and Zombies 2, a more survivor-centric take on galaxy-wide zombie apocalypses! They explain the move to 3D, how the pacing will differ from the usual action RPG, why they’re fussing with multiplayer, why this isn’t on Kickstarter, and how it resembles watching creatures fight in a Petri dish and then adding anthrax. They also tell us the bad news, which is how long we’ll have to wait to play it (spoiler: much of the year).
