Funcom stages its own zombie invasion in the upcoming horror conspiracy MMO The Secret World (http://kotaku.com/tag/thesecretworld/), with the reanimated citizens of Kingsmouth (http://kotaku.com/5456308/the-secret-world-postcards-from-the-edge-of-madness) starring in this first in-game footage (http://kotaku.com/tag/ingamefootage/).
It can be a little hard to see under that black and white security camera filter Funcom has going on in the video, but this is what The Secret World will look like to eyes used to seeing beyond the arcane. Sure, zombies have been (and should be) beaten to death. Even the narrator of the video knows it, refusing to use the "Z" word, but at least the setting and tone of the game is appropriate to a horde of the living dead.
