Gameloft demonstrated a pair of its upcoming App Store releases at the Game Developers Conference this week, giving attendees the opportunity to play the Resident Evil-inspired Zombie Infection and an iPhone version of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Based on Ubisoft’s upcoming console and PC stealth-action title, Splinter Cell: Conviction is a third-person shooter built using an upgraded version of the company’s N.O.V.A. engine. Conviction features 10 levels, with gameplay mixing stealth, action, and cover-based shooting mechanics.
Gameloft’s second offering, meanwhile, continues in the publisher’s controversial tradition of cloning popular titles on other platforms. After previously targeting Modern Warfare, Cooking Mama, and SoulCalibur, Gameloft now intends to capitalize on Capcom’s Resident Evil series with Zombie Infection.
Zombie Infection duplicates major portions of Resident Evil 5, in particular — Gameloft’s game is set in an African village, and features a female partner character named Shawna. As in Capcom’s title, players are tasked with discovering the cause of a zombie outbreak while fending off hordes of the undead.
Zombie Infection will include 10 single-player levels and a survival-based Arena Mode when it launches later this month.
