Dead Block is a third-person action-strategy video game by developer Candygun Games and publisher Digital Reality, in which three survivors of a zombie outbreak attempt to keep zombies out of a safehouse. It was released on July 6, 2011,[3] on Xbox Live Arcade. It was also released on the PlayStation Network on July 19, 2011 in North America and July 27, 2011 in Europe. A Microsoft Windows release will follow.[1][3] In the game, three characters use a combination of blockades, traps and weapons to fight off attacking zombies.[2] It was developed with the Unreal 3 Engine.[1]

The game can be played by four players in a split-screen format, and will include ten single-player levels and an additional eight multiplayer co-op levels.[2] The three characters include Jack Foster, a construction worker; Foxy Jones, a traffic warden; and Mike Bacon, a heavyset boy scout who is often eating.[1][3] It is set during the 1950s, and the zombie outbreak coincides with the emergence of the rock and roll genre of music during that time period.[3]
