Konami and Nihilistic are slowly unveiling their new zombie game, Zombie Apocalypse, which will arrive on the PSN next month. But before it officially launches, John Slavin is giving the zombie-loving fans something munch on.

In a recent post at the US PlayStation Blog, Slavin detailed that they “wanted to strip off the woes of increasingly complex modern mega-games, and retreat back into the world of dank arcades and late-night movie rentals that was our childhood in the 80's and 90's." Therefore, they incorporated elements of an arcade shooter such as those in Smash TV and Robotron: 2084.

Below are some features you can expect from Zombie Apocalypse:

*Deadly Environments: get those best zombie locales as often seen in movies - graveyard with green gas-spewing crematorium, courtesy of "Return of the Living Dead"; lonely cabin in the middle of the woods; airports, junkyards, and more. In this game, the environment is your weapon. So get creative with your kills.

*Four Unlikely Heroes:
- Harlan Woods (heavily inspired by George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead")
- Natalie Flores (the tough but mentally unstable female lead; used to be a bartender)
- Ed Fragsen ( the lonely and broken security guard with nothing left to lose)
- Jimmy86 (the arcade rat-geek who's really a reflection of the designers themselves)
*Zombie-Killing Arsenal: flamethrowers, chainguns, dual smg's, shotguns, take your pick.
*Racking up the Score: score multiplier system plus bonuses
*55 Days of Terror: 55 increasingly intense levels across seven unique environments in the game
