Digital Reality has announced Dead Block, the upcoming third person action zombie survival game which focuses on "innovative defensive gameplay."

Developed by the Hamburg based studio Candygun Games, the game is described as a "unique and entertaining mix of arcade action and strategy gameplay combined with a spooky, cartoony visual style inspired by classic zombie movies."

Built on Epic Games’ award-winning Unreal Engine, Dead Block will put you in the shoes of a few remaining survivors, Jack Foster (a construction worker), Foxy Jones (a traffic warden), and Mike Bacon (a perpetually hungry boy scout) who have formed an unlikely alliance to protect themselves from the invading undead. "Hiding in various shelters around town, they avoid Zombies by building blockades, setting fiendish traps or – as a last resort – using their weapons to fight," notes the press release.

The game will feature 10 single-player levels with up to 4-player slugfest, a split-screen multiplayer with an additional 8 multiplayer co-op levels where players can fight side by side with their friends.

Dead Block will be available on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC platforms later this year.
