An early shot from Resistance 2

Resistance 2, the follow up to one of the PS3 exclusive launch titles (yes yes... one of like two, I know) has just been announced with talk of a release date later this year. Resistance: Fall of Man was a hot multiplayer title and don't you think they have forgotten about that. Resistance 2 is set to bring 60 player server for all the fraggin' you can handle.

You follow on from the events in Resistance: Fall of Man with Insomniac Games once again at the helm. Taking off where Nathan Hale left off, you continue through a new campaign, with a totally separate one for the co-op.

Apart from the 60 person multiplayer, the co-op mode allows for you to play a completely different campaign to the single player, where two people offline or eight players online to connect and play this campaign with each other! I hope they scale the difficulty, so if you can't get enough friends in or if you've just started playing Resistance 2 there will be an easier mode for you. There is also talk of the multiplayer having a class system such as Heavy, Special Ops, and Medic, but little more is known about this.

Not much is known about Resistance 2 since the game is still in development. But we will be sure to tell you everything we can when we hear about it. Until then Resistance fans rejoice, more is coming!
