Ubisoft announced the creation of a new intellectual property being developed exclusively for Nintendo Wii U. The press release stated that being “created by Ubisoft Montpelier, Killer Freaks from Outer Space is a revolutionary new first person shooter (FPS) and will release in conjunction with the launch of the new console from Nintendo.”
When we realized the potential of what Nintendo was offering by creating a tactile controller, we were off and running immediately. Having that extra screen in the hand of the player allows us boundless innovation that ultimately give the player a more beautiful game, a faster game interface, a personalized game experience, and so much more. – Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft’s France studios
In the game, vicious and insane hordes of Killer Freaks from Outer Space have invaded the planet. As one of the world’s last survivors, the player must stalk the Killer Freaks across the globe – killing each and every one of them – to determine who will rule the earth, humans or Killer Freaks.
