Deep Silver Announces Another Dead Island Game!

Yes, you read that right. Another Dead Island game has been announced less than a month after Dead Rising 2’s big reveal!

That said, as a zombie fan, I’m looking forward to playing it. It being the new survival mystery game Deep Silver announced today. In this single-player romp, gamers will take on the role of Cliff Calo, son of a wealthy media empire mogul. Cliff believes that he’ll be a star if he can uncover the truth behind the virus that doomed Banoi. Yeah…Cliff is basically throwing himself off a cliff for the sake of fame.

Based on what I’ve seen, the game reminds me of Dead Rising; you know, with the whole reporter in the middle of a zombie outbreak thing. Apparently, gamers will need to use stealth in order to survive. There’s no word on whether or not Cliff will need to defend himself like in previous Dead Island games. The screens do show him holding weapons though.

Escape Dead Island’s story was penned by Emmy award-winning author Anne Toole, which deals with Cliff’s psyche as well as the zombie infestation. Certainly a different vibe than what we’ve seen before. The same goes for the comic style visuals.

Fans who purchase the game through GameStop will have guaranteed access to the Dead Island 2 beta event next year. Rewards members will also be automatically entered into the July Epic Reward promotion; the winner will be flown to Berlin, Germany, to get digitally scanned and placed as an in-game zombie character in DI2.

Escape Dead Island is coming to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC this fall. Be sure to check back here as we continue to follow all things undead!
