Dead Nation gets online co-op

Dead Nation developer Housemarque has announced the top-down zombie shooter will feature online co-op as a launch feautre.

According to Housemarque boss Llarl Kulttinen, the feature wasn't planned, though.

"Originally, online co-op wasn’t going to be included as a launch feature as the schedule and resources didn’t allow it," he wrote in a post on the EU PS Blog.

"However, after many late night testing sessions and long talks with Sony, we decided that this was a must-have feature and it would be unfair on you if we launched without it."

Kulttinen added the online co-op "fully matches the offline experience."
