Ever since that trailer showed up back in December, we haven’t heard anything more regarding Overkill’s The Walking Dead, which is still scheduled to be released later this year. Overkill today fixed that with the release of their first Dev Diary for the project, focusing on the neighborhood of Georgetown in Washington D.C.

In the clip, the producer for the four-player co-op zombie FPS Saul Gascon and some of the lighting and environmental artists, show up to discuss what went into designing the look and feel of the town in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Storytelling through the environment is always crucial for a game like this, and the example we’re given is an apartment that’s seemingly frozen in time.

There’s no sign of any of the other characters you’ll be playing as in the game, but that will definitely change once Overkill decide to release another tidbit ahead of the game’s Fall release.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
