Killer Freaks from Outer Space announced for Wii U
Wii U has received its first exclusive first-person shooter. Coming to the platform by way of Ubisoft Montpelier, Killer Freaks from Outer Space is a “revolutionary new first person shooter,” set to debut as a launch title.
The game will utilize the many features of the Wii U controller, which they believe will make the game “a whole new take on the FPS genre.”
“When we realized the potential of what Nintendo was offering by creating a tactile controller, we were off and running immediately,” said Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft’s France studios. “Having that extra screen in the hand of the player allows us boundless innovation that ultimately gives the player a more beautiful game, a faster game interface, a personalized game experience, and so much more.”
Killer Freaks from Outer Space has alien lifeforms invading the planet in “vicious and insane” hordes. As one of the last survivors, the player must hunt down the globe’s “Killer Freaks” and help humans regain their position as ‘ruler of Earth.’
“When Nintendo launches a new console, it’s always a big milestone for the industry and a great opportunity for creativity,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive office at Ubisoft. “Killer Freaks will make the most of all the fantastic capabilities of the Wii U and provide hardcore players with a gaming experience like no other they have seen or played before.”
The first trailer of Killer Freaks can be seen below. Check out the debut screenshots and artwork at the gallery.
