Dead Island caused quite a stir when it was re-announced back in early 2011. Originally announced in 2007, the game reasserted itself with an emotive CGI trailer, which itself went of to be honoured at the Cannes Lions 2011. In case you’ve missed it, find the trailer embedded below.
Developed by Techland (Call of Juarez, Nail’d) and published by Deep Silver (S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky, Risen, Sacred), Dead Island will play out on a tropical holiday resort which becomes infested by zombies.
The game will focus on a specific story within the context of a zombie ravaged tropical paradise, and when it was announced back in 2007, Techland emphasised that there would be a dynamic, branching narrative and sandbox gameplay.
Unlike most zombie slashers, the action in Dead Island will take place from a first person perspective, and will have RPG elements. The combat will mostly be melee, and there will be built in 4 player drop in/drop out co-op.
The game is gearing up for release on Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows PC in September 2011. The product has just been listed on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/91310/), along with the system requirements.
