Concept Art Outs Cancelled Dead Nation 2, The Walking Dead, and Superman Games

Concept art from Dead Nation developer Housemarque reveals the studio had pitched and possibly worked on Dead Nation 2, a game based on The Walking Dead, and a Superman-related project.

The images, posted by former Housemarque artist Amar Djouad, show that Dead Nation 2 would have moved far beyond mowing down waves of zombies, showing characters fighting dinosaurs and giant monsters in a post-apocalyptic city.

Based on the concept art, it's possible Housemarque's Walking Dead may have been a top-down survival-shooter similar to Dead Nation. (Of course, that's purely speculative at this point.)

Lastly, art from the Superman project, which isn't listed as a game on Djouad's website, depict an older, down-trodden version of the Man of Steel and nemesis Doomsday, implying a potential "Death of Superman" storyline.

According to a series of tweets from Superannuation, none of these games are currently in development, though it's possible that Dead Nation 2 may have been approved and then cancelled, rather than rejected.
