God Save Birmingham devs picked its unlikely locale after seeing it on YouTube

Merry ol’ England is teeming with culture. Yes, a worrying chunk of it may have been nicked from lands further afield, but the country responsible for The Beatles, Shakespeare, and putting a pie between two slices of bread and calling it a sandwich is surely capable of standing on its own two feet. From London’s mixed architecture to the towering highrises of Manchester, the country’s largest cities are veritable metropolises where you’ll undoubtedly get stung for the price of beer. Then there’s Birmingham. Despite being the UK’s second-largest city, Birmingham is broadly considered the nation’s ugly duckling. When Ocean Drive Studio announced God Save Birmingham, the jokes wrote themselves. ‘A zombie game? In Birmingham? Just try walking down the high street’ – lots of chortling and belly rumbling ensued. As it transpires, the studio’s method for choosing Brum over its more… picturesque counterparts was equally unorthodox.
