'Welcome to the zombie apocalypse experience of a lifetime - and now more beautiful than ever. While we await the promised update, here's what you need to know about the first game: Now, the game is back under the publishing umbrella of Deep Silver, with Deep Silver Dambuster Studios taking the development charge. With few updates here and there, news - as mentioned before - has been scarce, though a listing for the title did appear for a short time on the Microsoft store just before E3 2018. After a split with its previous developer and Deep Silver, production was moved to Sumo Digital in 2016. Still, perhaps it will be a cross-gen title, we honestly have no idea at this point since everyone involved had been mum about progress.įollowing Dead Island 2's reveal in 2014, the sequel fell victim to a wide variety of road bumps that affected work on the title. The final exchange from the studio concluded with, 'We're not quite ready to talk about the latest Dead Island just yet, but when we do, you'll see it here!'Īfter several changed hands, the zombie title is still shooting for an Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC date - which is a little odd given that next-gen is officially here. The 'Game of the Year Edition' for Xbox 360 includes new blueprints and weapons, the original Dead Island, and its two main DLC releases: the multiplayer 'Bloodbath Arena' and the single-player 'Ryder White' campaign.The original naysayer responded in disbelief, asking Deep Silver not to give them false hope. Explore the island's urban areas, forests, mountain highlands, caves, beaches, and other locales from a first-person perspective, or utilize an over-the-shoulder view for melee combat. When firearms and ammo are in limited supply, you'll be able to engage enemies in hand-to-hand combat with axes, machetes, knives, clubs, and similar edged or bludgeoning weapons that will degrade over time. Experience points earned in combat can be used to improve a character's attributes and fighting skills. The two male and two female characters have different strengths and weaknesses, which can be offset to a degree by leveling up. As one of four playable characters, your goal is to complete missions necessary for your survival, which means battling throngs of the undead with a variety of customizable weapons and finding a way off the fictitious island of Banoi.ĭead Island features an open-world environment in a campaign that supports up to four players for drop-in, drop-out cooperative action.
