The Australian Classification Board, the government body which which rates movies, certain publications, and games in the same way that the Entertainment Software Board rates games in North America, has rated an Ubisoft game for Xbox One called Zombi. Given its title and Ubisoft being listed as the publisher, this might be a port of company's 2012 Wii U exclusive ZombiU. The listing on the Classification Board appears a little more than a week after Unseen64, a site that has previously revealed a canceled Ubisoft Wii U game and concept art for Driver 5, reported that a ZombiU port might be in development. According to the Classification Board's website, Zombi is rated MA 15+ for strong horror violence, blood, and gore, which also describes the adult content in the original ZombiU. The date of the classification listed is June 17, 2015. In May of 2013, Ubisoft Montpellier's the creative director Jean-Philippe Caro said that the studio was working on a ZombiU 2 prototype, but in July 2013, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told GamesIndustry International that "betting big" on the Wii U did not pay off for the company, and that there are no plans or desire for a sequel.
