Dead Meets Lead was announced in September 2010. The game is a fast paced zombie slaying hack n’ slash from the independent studio Keldyn Interactive, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Gamers will take on the role of an 18th century ship commander known as “The Captain” who sets out to rid a Caribbean island of its zombie infestation. Little info is known on a release date other than sometime in 2011.
Today Keldyn Interactive has released the first gameplay trailer for Dead Meets Lead. The trailer follows the main character through a few maps, showcasing some of the aspects of the game, such as his ability to slam the ground and shoot down zombies with his blunderbuss.
Several enemies which have never been shown before are revealed – among them are several types of “human” zombies, zombified hounds and the mystic voodoo priests. The video also displays the unique environment and the graphics of Dead Meets Lead.
The story:
In the year of our lord 1716, word reached the British shores of a plague like no other that had spread on the overseas islands of El Mirando and Rugged Nest Island. Not before long, the church councils had assembled a force to deal with this new infestation and drive out the evil, since its origin was rumored to be within the dark arts and witchcraft. A ruthless captain was selected as leader for a fleet of vessels filled with god-fearing men, and they were soon on their way across the ocean to liberate the islands.

However, God had other plans, and before the islands were sighted, a storm broke out and the ships were all sent to the depths of the sea. As the only survivor, the captain was washed up on a beach on – oh God’s ways are truly mysterious – one of the very islands he set out to purge. Being a devout Christian, some would even say on the verge of fanatic, the good captain was firmly set on cleansing the island by his own hands…
