Independent Finnish developer Housemarque, the critically acclaimed studio behind Super Stardust HD, Outland, Dead Nation and the upcoming Furmins, have today announced new DLC content for the PlayStation(R) Network exclusive smash hit, Dead Nation.

Millions of Dead Nation recruits fighting against the spreading of a dreadful zombie virus are now facing new challenges when needing to travel the “Road Of Devastation” in a DLC pack available soon for download exclusively on PSN.

“We’ve been working hard since the launch of Dead Nation to bring exciting new content to the fans of the game,” says Housemarque CEO, Ilari Kuittinen. “Since the launch of the game, Dead Nation has been a top selling PSN title having fans all around the globe. After being included in the Welcome Pack offering, the game has reached over 3.8 millions downloads, which is simply mindboggling and unheard of for a PSN game.”

Continuing from the events where the original game left off (or, is it actually the other way around…), you’ll find ‘Road of Devastation’ will put your skills to the ultimate test. You’ll find yourself waking up in a laboratory with only one way out. Outside the door you’re presented with a choice – you’re faced with a crossroads leading to three different roads, each with their own unique environments, challenges and enemies waiting for you.

In addition to the range of enemies and weapons from the original game, ‘Road of Devastation’ will present you with a variety of new tools and equipment to dispose of your enemies with, while introducing new enemies and obstacles encountered in the unique new environments.

Pricing and the release date will be announced soon. Further news and details on the ‘Road of Devastation’ DLC are updated to the Dead Nation facebook page www.facebook.com/DeadNation and PlayStation blog posts.
