Rumor: The Bigs dev gathering for a Zombie Ritual


Since bringing baseball home to the everyman in last year's The Bigs, Vancouver's Blue Castle Games has been eerily quiet regarding its future plans, be they grounded in sports or, as music site Loudside writes it, waking the dead. According to the website, the developer plans to release a title called Zombie Ritual sometime later this year, and that the as-yet-unannounced game will include music from the appropriately named hometown rockers, Cradle To Grave.

According to the report, the studio plans to ship Zombie Ritual in "late 2008," and expects to have a half million copies of the title on store shelves in the first week. A quick glance at Blue Castle's website reveals that the company is in fact working on two new unnamed sports titles and one action game, though unless the devs plan on having us field grounders or going long with teams of recently exhumed corpses, we're betting Zombie Ritual will be of the latter.
