Packed with 8-player online co-op and 60-player online multiplayer, Resistance 2 is expected to arrive this November.
The shots hail from the game's single-player campaign, showing off the Chicago level and a new type of enemy known as the Grim.
Along with the expected single-player campaign, Resistance 2 will pack 8-person online co-op and 60-person online multiplayer when it arrives this November.
The schedule confirms that many of the dates provided by SCE Europe apply to North America, such as LittleBigPlanet (PS3) in October and Killzone 2 (PS3) next February.

According to the site, Media Molecule's cutesy and customizable platformer LittleBigPlanet (PS3) will arrive in the UK alongside Guerrilla Games' long-awaited first-person shooter Killzone 2 (PS3) this September.
Insomniac's launch title sequel Resistance 2 (PS3), SCE's other major first person shooter, will then hit UK retailers in November, complete with 60-person multiplayer and 8-player online co-op.
The November timeframe puts Resistance 2 in direct competition with Epic's Gears of War 2 (X360), just as the original Resistance faced off against the first Gears of War (X360) entry in November 2006.
Though Sony Computer Entertainment has yet to confirm North American release dates for the above titles, such major PlayStation 3 releases have been marked by near-simultaneous releases in North America and Europe.
The publisher previously expressed its intent to ship Resistance 2 in North America this fall, with a worldwide global release of LittleBigPlanet in that same general timeframe.
The sequel to Insomniac's first person shooter of a PlayStation 3 launch title, Resistance 2 arrives this fall with two campaigns--one single-player mode, the other allowing 8-player online co-op--and 60-person online multiplayer in tow.
Slated to arrive on the PS3 this fall, Resistance 2 will follow the continuing exploits of protagonist Nathan Hale and his struggles against the alien-esque Chimera. Along with the main adventure, up to 8 players can engage in a separate campaign via online co-op, one of the original's most requested features.
Insomniac also promises up to 60 players per match in the game's online competitive multiplayer, which will allow players to split into individual squads, each with their own unique objective, along with multiple character classes. The first Resistance supported a maximum of 40 players per match.
The projected fall release continues Insomniac's tradition of annual Q4 titles, which it has recently maintained with Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3) in November 2007, Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) in November 2006, and Ratchet: Deadlocked (PS2) in October 2005.
