A few new screenshots have been released by Techland for their ‘Dead Island’ Zombie survival game that’s currently in development. The team recently released a heartbreaking horror trailer for their new Dead Island game which caused a stir and have now followed up with a few screenshots to tease us a little more before release.
Formidable Foes and Unique Challenges
The first screenshot shows a formidable foe complete with a straight jacket, which might prove a little hard to take down considering there isn’t going to be any firepower or guns of any kind on the Island. Just weapons you can fashion together from everyday objects. This adds a layer of complexity and realism to the game, making players think creatively about how to survive. Let’s hope there are some very big gas canisters somewhere nearby. The absence of traditional firearms means that players will need to rely heavily on melee combat and improvised weapons, which could range from modified baseball bats to electrified machetes.
Release Date and Platform Availability
Little information is known about the release date at the moment, only that it will be available in 2011 for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. This multi-platform release ensures that a wide audience will be able to experience the game, regardless of their preferred gaming system. The anticipation is building as fans of the zombie survival genre eagerly await more details.
The Dead Island game will, however, include 4 player co-op with weapon customizations and have an RPG style character development feature. This means that players can team up with friends to tackle the zombie hordes, each bringing their own customized weapons and character skills to the table. The RPG elements will allow players to develop their characters over time, gaining new abilities and improving their chances of survival.

The screenshots released so far give us a glimpse into the game’s environment and the types of enemies players will face. The graphics appear to be highly detailed, capturing the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of a zombie-infested island. The use of lighting and shadows adds to the horror element, making every corner a potential threat.
In addition to the visual elements, the game’s sound design is expected to play a crucial role in creating an immersive experience. From the distant groans of zombies to the crunch of footsteps on gravel, every sound will contribute to the tension and urgency of the game.
The storyline of Dead Island is also a point of interest. While specific plot details are scarce, it’s known that players will be stranded on an island overrun by zombies, with the primary objective being survival and escape. The game promises to deliver a mix of intense action, strategic planning, and emotional storytelling.
