Bungie defector launching debut next summer

Alex Seropian co-founded Bungie and then brought us Halo, before moving on to form Wideload Games. The debut title from the studio is currently known as, Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel without a Pulse". Huh? That's why we call it a
working title. All names aside, what's really creating a buzz, is that Seropian's new game is built off of the Halo engine. But this is no mere clone: "players take on the role of the rebel himself—Stubbs, a wisecracking Zombie who takes on an ultra-modern city of the future using nothing but his own carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies... [featuring] gameplay as bizarre and unpredictable as its namesake." Wideload utilizes a small full-time staff reaching out to about 30 or so artists, programmers, and coders for support. Look for Stubbs to pop up on the Xbox, PC,
and Mac next summer.
