SCEA working on new zombie game for PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment America is filming a trailer for a new game – a game featuring zombies. According to a post on the PlayStation.Blog, the PS3 developer is looking for twenty San Francisco participants to appear in the game trailer as zombies on May 15 and 16.

To qualify, you must send your name, date of birth (must be at least 18), phone number, zip code, height, a photo of your face, and a photo of your full body to this e-mail by May 12 at 11:00pm PST. If you’re in, you’ll get contacted the next day.

Sure, the contest is interesting, but what’s more interesting is that Sony is working on a new zombie game. Searching the comments, the replies from David Bull, Product Marketing Specialist at SCEA, suggest the game is a new PlayStation 3 title.

One comment hoped: “please may it be a PS3 only game”, where Bull responded with the simple quote: “It only does everything!” It looks like this won’t be a humorous zombie game, either – where another comment said “I sure hope this won’t be a humoristic game,” Bull replied “We won’t disappoint you.”

Sony registered a trademark, as well as a web domain, for a game named Until Dawn just recently. E3’s next month. Perhaps we’ll see a formal reveal at the press conference?
