Exon Studios’ Zombie Driver HD will now hit the Xbox Live Arcade in the first half of the year, according to a post on the game’s Facebook page. According to a comment in response to a fan question, the game is now scheduled for the first half of 2012. The game was originally announced in September for a late 2011 release. In a post on the game’s website, the development team attributes its radio silence on the game’s status to date to the team working “day and night to bring the game to consoles.” The post was accompanied by a new screenshot of the game in action.

The game, originally released for the PC in 2009, is a top-down car shooter, a la the original Grand Theft Auto, which sets the player in a souped-up vehicle taking on a zombie apocalypse. According to the original announcement, the XBLA release will feature new vehicles, weapons and a narrative experience said to be twice the length of the original PC release.
