‘Dead Nation’ Sequel Teased In New ‘Resogun’ Trailer
Indie developer Housemarque has released a brand new trailer for their upcoming PS3 title Resogun that’s actually more of a very subtle tease for their next game, which my perfectly honed investigative instincts tells me will be Dead Nation 2. The first game is still one of the best, if not the best, cooperative zombie-themed arcade title on the PS3. It’s good gory fun you can share with a friend and its unique metagame — which had countries competing for the most zombie kills — was a nice touch.
The developer has kept busy since Dead Nation released back in 2010 with games like Outland and the Angry Birds Trilogy, but it looks like we’ll soon be getting more from the post-apocalyptic series, possibly even on next-gen consoles. Watch the super classy teaser video after the break.
Here’s to hoping Dead Nation 2 will go multi-platform.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
