Anyone know about any new zombie movies (or games, books, comics, etc...)coming out soon? Posts can include an estimated time of release and plot summary if possible (consoles also). Thanks.
Note: Feel free to add any information or links you find. Ask any questions also.

I think a cool feature in any upcoming zombie game would be the continuation of story, following the death of ANY NPC (similar to the Fahrenheit/Heavy Rain games). The main story (protagonist's mission) would be analogous to the body of a tree, while the side stories that NPCs would offer (side missions) symbolize the branches that embellish this tree. The more branches you add to your tree, the better it'll look: TRANSLATION- The more side missions you complete, the more bonuses you'll receive, contributing to the game's overall story/variety. A fortified safe house where all the NPC's you've rescued could be the HUB of the game. Saving specific NPCs would yield things such as music or recreational mini games like chess.
Save a:
1. Mechanic- vehicle customization/fortification (think blade fins)
2. Gunsmith- munitions go-to-guy/girl
3. Nurse/Doctor- Address non-infected wounds
4. Farmer- Grows supplies through Hydroponics
5. Engineer- Invents traps/melee weapon upgrades
Arcing Story Ex.

ACTION
Choice A. Shoot the man, against your comrade's protests

Choice B. Your companion decides to stay with her father, you later find out that she has taken some of your supplies, two people have exited your party
Choice C. Later down the road, the man "turns" and offs one (or more) of your party members.
