Human Element is Robotoki's Own Zombie Apocalypse

Having departed Infinity Ward back in March, today Rob Bowling has revealed his new studio Robotoki's first game. It's called 'Human Element' and will be a zombie title that casts you in the role of a customised character from one of three pre-defined classes. The core objective in the game will be centred around that of survival.

“Their greatest strength is the fear that [zombies] instil in us, the survivors, that unreasonable fear. Unreasonable fear that leads us to do unreasonable things to survive," Bowling told Game Informer,

Human Element's character creation enables you to choose from either the Action, Intelligence, and Stealth classes, with three different scenarios that'll define their identity. You can opt to spend your zombie apocalypse in one of the following three ways: Survive Alone, Survive with a Partner, and Survive with a Young Child.

“How you choose to start in the world will determine how you can engage and impacts the scenarios you will be presented with on a physical and morality level,” Bowling added.

Human Element is scheduled to launch sometime in 2015 on "next-generation consoles", so you'll be in for a bit of a wait.

Nice poster, though the last promo material for a zombie game I liked was for Dead Island :p

But for next gen, and 2015, bit pointless hyping it now :) Next up, the poster for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 5, allowing for the yearly Black Ops rotation :D

Survive Alone, Survive with a Partner, and Survive with a Young Child.

OR as most gamers just read it

Survive Alone, Survive with a useless AI Partner, and survive with a useless AI Child you have to protect. Hopefully this isn't the case with Human Element. Also why bother with a poster now? Do they honestly think people will remember this between now and 2015? I don't know about anyone else but I already have plans for 2013 (If you've ever claimed the world is gonna end this year and you know me 2013 isn't going to be a good year for you)

Well, I guess I can shove this into the back of brain so I can go "Oh yeah, I remember that!" when all my friends see it in 3 years and go "DUDE DID YOU SEE THIS?"

I know I want to say negative stuff about Robert Bowling, but I try to be fair. I'll give this game a chance.

@3

No. I believe I'm going to have a fun year mocking the people who thought the world was going to end. But I don't need them to know that yet, think about it for a moment their not going to admit to thinking the world is going to end this year if they think I'll mock them next year.

If 2012 was the end why would their be a 2013. Nobody would be around to know it was 2013. Weird how I'm mocking someone for jumping to conclusions and your jumping to the conclusion I think the world will end. Makes you think really. Except for me, I've got a screw to find apparently.

Another zombie game? Seriously? I thought that fad was already over last year. Well, at least it's survival horror. Rare these days.

looks cool! Just from the poster and the fact that Robert Bowling has something to do with it, I'm pretty hyped for this!

@7 Really? Again? Come on read my last post I don't actually think the world will end. Even if the Mayans were right some guys have actually found Mayan charts predicting earth rotations thousands of years into the future from now.

Those Mayans must've had a lot of time. Too bad for them gaming hadn't been invented back then.

Mayans never said the world was going to end. Their work was misinterpreted. They were brilliant mathematicians, and all their calculations ended with the year 2012. Not because they thought the world would end, just because thats how far they calculated too.

Its like buying a calendar, getting to december and going 'Oh my god there are no more months that means the world will end'
