The hot, new, everybody’s-talking-about-it Kickstarter sensation Ouya console just got its first exclusive game – it’s like a real<\/em> console now (or at least until it’s actually, you know, manufactured and all that sort of stuff).<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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?<\/em><\/p>\n
