We made these Zombie Apocalypse screens safe for your family photo

Yesterday, Konami announced that its four-player shooter Zombie Apocalypse would be hitting Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network next week.

Today, the publisher passed along some screens. Odd thing -- they asked us to put the screens behind an age gate, at the request of the ESRB. Not only do we not have the ability to do that here at Destructoid, but it's not something that has ever come up. Sure, we've been asked to put trailers behind age gates. But screenshots? This is a first. 

Still, we wanted to deliver this Zombie Apocalypse content to you. But in order to respect the wishes of the ESRB, we had to make a few edits in order to make sure the screenshots were safe for work and your family. While we can't show it to you, rest assured that beneath our edits are some of the messiest, bloodiest piles of zombie gore in any digital download game. We promise.

if there aren't any unicorns and kittens in this game I'm filing a lawsuit against destructoid and konami over my own ignorance.

Well Excuse me princess. I find kittens and unicorns offensive. How dare you not shield me from the awful pictures of kittens and unicorns that offend me so much. BAN THIS SICK FILTH. :P

Ahhh the ole' kittens for blood covers. Classic. Hopefully this game is equally awesome. Ridiculous censorship is always fun.

lol @ the ESRB wanting to age gate the screenshots when almost anyone under 17 that would want to see them would lie and not become mass murderers in the process. From the actual screenshots I saw, it's a lot of blood, but so much that it's almost comically like the almost seen in Mortal Kombat or No More Heroes. Either way, I find the animals covering it pretty funny, especially the Link cat.

I can't wait for this, gonna be so awesome. And I didn't know that the ESRB could ask to sensor images. Isn't that kind of stupid though? I mean, Zombieland (HELL YEAH!) can shgow all the gore it wants on T.V., but Zombie Apocalypse has to sensor it's screens? Oh well, still. Game looks great.
