‘Nazi Zombie Army 2’ Announced, Coming Later This Year
Like killing Nazi zombies? Of course you do, that’s why they’re such a popular target in video games. You know this, I know this and apparently, developer Rebellion knows this as well. That’s why they’re currently hard at work on Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2. The first game was good fun, so long as you’re a fan of affordable cooperative undead shoot-em-ups.
Nazi Zombie Army 2 will bring with it a brand new campaign, brimming with new enemies and the four-player co-op that made the original so much fun. The developer also teased the possibility of the game coming to other platforms — read on for more.
According to Rebellion founder and CEO Jason Kingsley, “We have to admit, we underestimated the demand for the original game. All of sudden we had console gamers desperate for us to port the game to 360 and PS3, but without a publisher this just wasn’t feasible. We left a lot of Sniper Elite fans disappointed. They didn’t want to hear excuses from us, they just wanted to play it”.
“As an independent, we’re obviously really excited about what we’re hearing from Sony and Microsoft when it comes to self publishing on PS4 and Xbox One. We think the series could be a great fit for them.”
Agreed. Because it looked like a zombiefied spin-off a series I hadn’t played before, I had low expectations for the first game, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit more than I thought I would. Apparently, seeing the bullet from a stellar rifle shot eviscerate a zombie’s skull in slow motion is pretty fucking satisfying. Thanks to Sony and Microsoft’s allowing of self-publishing on their platforms, it looks like console gamers may be getting the game, too.

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.
