The Dead Island trailer caused quite a stir a few weeks ago. The short film was emotionally provocative with its haunting imagery and music – it seemed to hit all the right notes with gamers looking for a new zombie game to sink their teeth into.
In case you missed all the fuss (or want to recall what the music sounds like), head on over the Dead Island trailer, then have a read through MyGaming’s Dead Island ‘first look’ and while you’re at it, check out the Dead Island screenshot gallery.
Apparently due to “unprecedented demand”, the original musical composition from Dead Island’s announcement trailer has now been released on the iTunes Store. The music was produced by Savalas; the ‘Dead Island Trailer Theme’ by Giles Lamb (featuring Mairi Campbell, Peter Nicholson & Guido De Groot). The track is going for £0.79.
About Dead Island
Dead Island is an upcoming gruesome zombie slasher by developer Techland. It combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.
Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.
Dead Island will be released worldwide for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, Windows PC toward the end of 2011.
