Impress Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Takashi Takahashi), an Impress Group company that develops IT-related media businesses, has begun selling "Zombie Spectrum" on the Minecraft Marketplace (https://www.minecraft.net/ja-jp/marketplace/creator/impress), the in-game store for the globally popular sandbox game "Minecraft."

In January 2018, our company became the first Japanese corporation to become an "Official Minecraft Partner," and we have since sold numerous works by Japanese creators on the Marketplace. The newly released "Zombie Spectrum" is a work by the creator team "Melina," known for their unique character modeling, produced under the guidance of the Japan Crafters Union.

"Zombie Spectrum" is a skin pack that includes 14 subspecies of zombies adapted to various environments, from deserts and mushroom islands to swamps, and even the Nether and the End. The charm of this work lies in its meticulous design that does not spoil the official atmosphere. You can enjoy a wide variety of appearances, such as the "Forest Zombie" that blends into the woods, the "Mummy" guardian of the pyramids, and the "Ender Zombie" that radiates a mysterious aura. Despite their diverse looks, the characteristic zombie expressions are preserved, creating a stunning sense of unity. Walk through the world of Minecraft with these diverse looks and complete the zombie ecosystem.
