Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without A Pulse Gets A Remaster For Modern Generation

Starting life as an original Xbox game, built on the Halo engine, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, was a game that passed many people by when it launched in 2005. This was mainly due to the original developers shuttering their doors. Now, nearly 16 years later, the game is getting a new lease of life on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, has you play as Stubbs, a deceased salesman from the 1930s who has an apatite for brains. Human brains to be specific. Here’s the announcement trailer from the man himself.

Here’s the story and what you can do in the game: It’s 1959 and the city of Punchbowl, PA, is a beacon of progress and ideal living. As Stubbs the Zombie, you’ll show the living that law and order are no match for a dead man on a mission.

• Eat Brains: Chomp on the living and replenish your bodily arsenal of zombie sputum, gut grenades, and the stunning unholy flatulence
• Build Your Zombie Horde: Convert your enemies into undead allies and lead a zombie assault on the living
• Possess Punchbowl’s Population: Clamp your severed hand to a barbershop quartet singer’s head and raygun away
• Bring Civilization to its Knees: Show the retro-futuristic city of Punchbowl, PA that they can’t escape the past
• Stubbs and Chill: Invite a friend to play as Grubbs for classic couch cooperative hijinks. (Friend not included)

Theres a charm about games from the early 2000s and Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse looks right up our street. It’s got humour and that janky look about it which says it’s going to be one to watch!

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch via Aspyr games on 16th March.
