Zombie’s Mark Long, following his company’s successful XBLA/PSN title,Blacklight: Tango Down, says he’s “really excited for Zombie to work with a property as complex as Hunter-Killer.”

“As an avid gamer, I really like how Zombie plans to bring Hunter-Killer to life,” says Top Cow President, Matt Hawkins. “Bringing a great developer like Zombie and a great game design to a premier Top Cow title is exactly what we expect and get out of our ongoing alliance with Union.”

“As we helped show with The Darkness, Top Cow is rife with ‘gameable’ properties,” says Union’s Richard Leibowitz. “Bringing together a great property, a great game design, and a great developer is one of the things Union does best. We’re all excited to be taking this next interactive foray into the Top Cow universe.”
