Dead Island, A New Game About A Tropical Resort Overrun by Zombies

Dead Island is a new first person melee combat video game about a tropical resort that is overrun by zombies. The game was officially announced with a heartwarming trailer featuring a family’s vacation being ruined by a zombie horde.

The island of Banoi is a lush, tropical paradise in the South Pacific where its flagship Royal Palms Resort serves as the ultimate getaway for vacationers with money to burn. However, all good things must soon come to an end – and the picturesque resort falls into madness, carnage and chaos after a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak claims its once peaceful atmosphere. Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, to discover what’s really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends.
