The hot, new, everybody’s-talking-about-it Kickstarter sensation Ouya console just got its first exclusive game – it’s like a real console now (or at least until it’s actually, you know, manufactured and all that sort of stuff).
Ex-Infinity Ward man Robert Bowling has signed a deal to develop a Human Element prequel specially for Ouya. The post-apocalyptic zombie survival-’em-up Human Element is already in development at Bowling’s new studio Robotoki for PC, mobile, and next-gen consoles, and scheduled to launch in 2015. So, basically, there’s going to be a prequel for a game that won’t actually be out for another three years, and the prequel will launch before it. Excitement?
“What this allows us to do, because Ouya has been so accessible and so open to indie developers, is we’re able to bring you a look at the world of Human Element a month, a week, a year after the events of the game,” says Bowling in a video announcement about the game. “Because Human Element in 2015 when it releaseses actually takes place thirty-five years after the event has occurred. And that event happens to be a zombie apocalypse.”
Does… does that even make sense? Anyone? Has Bowling been bitten by something? Has the zombie apocalypse already started, and we’re already in the prequel?
