Proletariat readies Thursday launch of mobile game World Zombination

Proletariat is getting ready to spend some of the $6 million it raised last week to launch its mobile game World Zombination on Thursday.

Cambridge, Mass.-based Proletariat will launch its mobile strategy tower defense game on iOS. The title is a massively multiplayer online game where one side plays as humans and the other side plays as zombies. Because the world doesn’t have enough zombie games, or at least ones with a hopeful and humorous art style. Smartphone and tablet gamers can now live out their dreams of destroying the world with a massive zombie horde or helping the last human survivors escape the undead.
