The First Zombie for Nintendo Switch: Phoenixx Reveals Reverse Zombie Game Produced by Kentaro Fujii
Phoenixx today unveiled The First Zombie, a new title confirmed to be in development for Nintendo Switch.
The studio provided an official overview and a teaser trailer but did not announce a release date, stating that launch timing will be provided at a later date.
The project is produced by Kentaro Fujii, who is known for his work on the television program Wednesday's Downtown.
Overview and gameplay concept
According to Phoenixxs official overview, The First Zombie flips the conventional zombie formula: players control humanity's first zombie and expand an undead horde rather than fighting it.
The developer describes the core loop as converting humans into allies by approaching them and 'making friends' to grow your numbers and overrun city districts.
In journalistic terms, Phoenixx characterizes the title as a 'reverse' zombie game in which the objective is to increase the undead population instead of eliminating it.
The developer frames the protagonist's mission as leading humanity to a new stage by transforming urban centers into zombie towns.
Setting and stage details
The game is set in Tokyo, with specific districts cited in promotional material.
Phoenixx highlights Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ueno as playable areas that players will attempt to convert into zones dominated by their horde.
The teaser emphasizes urban-scale progression as a central design element, with players expanding control across multiple neighborhoods.
Production and release information
Kentaro Fujii is credited as the producer on the project; his association with Wednesday's Downtown is noted in the announcement.
Phoenixx released a teaser trailer alongside the overview.
Beyond the trailer and overview, the studio has not shared further technical or release details.
The company confirmed that more information, including a launch window or exact release date, will be announced at a future time.
Where to watch and follow updates
The teaser trailer is available through Phoenixxs official channels.
Given the Nintendo Switch platform confirmation, further listings or release details may later appear on the Nintendo eShop and could be featured in future Nintendo Direct presentations.
We will update coverage when Phoenixx publishes a release date or additional gameplay information.
