Simon Pegg’s love of zombiesand indeedLeft 4 Dead 2is well documented, but it could be that his blessing will breathe new life into a stagnant mod.Left 4 Winchesterwas a mod started in 2009 based on the comedy zombie hitShaun of the Deadthat soon found itself bogged down in “legal concerns” with movie studio Universal.

Tweets from Pegg saying “This would be absolutely awesome” and “The rights belong to Universal but we will do what we can” have spurred the team to get back on the case and finish the project. It would be great to see a fully fleshed out mod based on the film; I hope Universal comes round and offer some assistance here but maybe the best bet is to make the mod and get it out there before the studio bigwigs notice.
