Sega have revealed they are working on 5 new PC titles among these is a new Typing of the dead game, where the player kills undead hordes using their typing skills.

The game will feature multiple endings and a tutorial mode where the game’s difficulty will change depending on the person’s skill level. It seems that as you finish shorter words, the game will start spitting out longer, more difficult ones until you start missing them again. So even people like Nathan “Bear Hands” Tsui can play and enjoy themselves.

A 2-player mode is confirmed in the article, but it doesn’t specify how. The original Typing of the Dead on PC featured a LAN co-op mode, so it’s likely that this new game will have this option as well. Online play would be amazing, but don’t hold your breath.

It looks like the game should hit store shelves in Japan in July, and as of now there’s been no word of a North American release. Here’s hoping the game gets a great localization like the original Typing of the Dead, which had some hilariously memorable lines of text.
