Borderlands dev doing zombie game?

Borderlands maker Gearbox Software has trademarked the name Z-Day.

The filing was spotted by Siliconera, but no one's any wiser about what the name's for.

A new game? Perhaps. A new Borderlands expansion? Maybe. Something to do with zombies? Probably.

We do know that Gearbox is a busy studio. As well as Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gearbox claims to have three other secret games in development.

Zombies are surely a bit overused but Borderlands have proven that Gearbox can take existing concepts and make them work like a mother, so this is worth memorising!!!

As long as we don't have to pronounce it zee-day, it's all good.

edit: too slow.

Cue a slew of B day gags.
Let's hope we don't rue Z day it was invented.

Isn't Z-Day something from World War Z? Or am I confusing my undead media.

It is indeed how they refer to the day in World War Z. Interesting, as that's being adapted into a movie...

I agree. Give us Colonial Marines. Put all other projects on hold, they're not important. Get Colonial Marines right and it could be the biggest shooter of the year.
