The furore surrounding Office Massacre, the controversial shooting game that was scheduled for release this April but was cancelled on Friday, continues apace this morning as publisher Alten8 has announced that it's bringing it back to life.

Office Massacre will now be re-worked and released as Office Zombies in an effort to, as a statement from Alten8 puts it, "align the game more in the genre of other accepted Zombie-style games, as opposed to some extreme violence games, which it was being compared to."

Cynics might note, however, that Alten8 has now had three cranks of the publicity engine from just one game. (And in almost as many days!)

The original Office Massacre had been pulled after certain areas of the media criticised it and Alten8 over the game's allegedly inappropriate theme and level of violence.

Office Zombies will be resurrected later this spring.
