Housemarque on rumours

Three secret games in development.

Published 2013-02-15

Recently a bunch of concept art surfaced over on the website of concept artist Amar Djouadin, showing art from a Superman game, a Walking Dead game (similar to Dead Nation) and Dead Nation 2. All of which were branded Housemarque projects.

We recently received an official response from Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen:

"Playing around with concepts and settings is standard practice among most developers, and as veterans of the industry will be able to confirm, by the end of the process only a few of them turn into real products. Since the beginning of 2012 we have been silently working on three unannounced projects. These games are now at various stages of completion and are planned for release on several platforms.

All our 40+ developers are hard at work to make sure the quality of gameplay, music, sound design and art will grant them a spot right next to Dead Nation, Outland and the Stardust series.

I'd personally like to reassure fans and press both that no Housemarque title has been cancelled in years. Any speculation on the nature of our new titles is a wild guess at best. We are aware that we haven't given away much thus far, but there will soon be a time and place for official announcements revealing what we have in store for daring gamers."

Remains to be seen if any of this artwork has to do with the projects currently in development, but we would be very surprised if a Dead Nation 2 was not forthcoming.
