All the zombie slayers out there who’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Dead Island, will have an option to further immerse themselves into the game by means of an iOS app designed specifically for the title. It will be available for download on iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch through the iTunes App Store. The launch date of the app will coincide with that of the immensely anticipated title.
Developed by BradyGames in partnership with publisher Deep Silver, the app contains detailed maps of ‘every square mile’ of Banoi Island. The latter is the fictional setting in which the game will conspire. Apparently aimed at turning the iOS devices into navigational tools, the maps in the app are zoomable as well as scrollable.
This app is also said to pinpoint the direction to all collectible items present in the game. These include ID Cards, Banoi Herald excerpts and Investigation Tapes. Moreover, each of these items numbering at over 150, is accompanied by respective screenshots and descriptive texts so as to guide gamers to the precise locations. An Objective complete check box allows players to keep a tab these items as they find them during the game.
Official music form the Dead Island game is also set to make its way into this app. Furthermore, it has even been equipped with an interactive Legend which lets users toggle on/off any of the collectible items and show/hide hidden or found items.
The official Dead island app will be available for download on iOS devices on September 6, 2011. It will be priced at 2.99 USD (approx. Rs. 136) on the iTunes App Store.
