In the fictional land called Banoi, yet another zombie assault has set up nightmarish gameplay for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC players. Spreading across the terror unleashed by the undead, Deep Silver and Square Enix recently entered into an agreement to distribute Dead Island across North and South America.
Traversing in small clusters through a tropical paradise, players will find themselves in a tight spot following a mysterious zombie outburst in this game. To save their lives from the assault, they can make their way out of the island by indulging in fierce battles against the intruding terror. The game also enables enthusiasts to immerse in four player co-op play for deriving a gratifying experience.
“Square Enix’s impressive distribution and marketing capabilities, combined with their proven success with launching top-notch AAA titles, makes them the absolute best partner for Dead Island,” explained Deep Silver Chief Operating Officer Geoff Mulligan. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with their dedicated and talented team and look forward to collaborating with them in order to bring Dead Island to gamers.”
“Dead Island is a truly extraordinary title and we couldn’t be more excited about leveraging our unified Square Enix resources in bringing it to audiences in the Americas,” remarked Mike Fischer, President and Chief Executive Officer, Square Enix.
Armed with a limited arsenal, gamers will need to employ day-to-day items as weapons for self-defense while being pitted against intense zombie hordes. The first person shooter has been crafted to unfold a narrative entailing various aspects such as melee combat, unique character classes and engaging role-playing elements. It allows gamers to customize a range of arsenal as they embark on missions along its engrossing plot.
Dead Island has been developed by Techland and will hit stores later this year for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
