A new trailer has been released by the makers of the highly anticipated Dead Island game and teases with a little in-game footage. The first Dead Island trailer caused a storm on the Internet with its combination of piano tunes and images of a family trying to escape the horde of advancing zombies.
The second uses the same piano tunes and gives a more rounded picture of the state of the island and its inhabitants both before the outbreak and after. Check the new teaser trailer for Dead Island after the jump.
Gameplay Features and Mechanics
The Dead Island game will also include 4 player co-op with weapon customisations and have a RPG style character development feature. This means players can team up with friends to tackle the zombie apocalypse together, making the experience more immersive and engaging. The weapon customization allows players to modify and upgrade their weapons, adding a layer of strategy and personalization to the gameplay. For example, you might find a simple baseball bat and turn it into a spiked club, or add electrical components to a machete to give it a shocking effect.
Character development in Dead Island is another exciting feature. Players can choose from different characters, each with unique skills and abilities. As you progress through the game, you can level up your character, unlocking new skills and improving existing ones. This RPG element adds depth to the game, encouraging players to think carefully about how they develop their characters to best survive the zombie-infested island.
Storyline and Setting
The storyline of Dead Island is set on the fictional island of Banoi, a tropical paradise that quickly turns into a nightmare. The game begins with the player waking up in a hotel room, only to find that the island has been overrun by zombies. The narrative is driven by the player’s quest to survive and find a way off the island, all while uncovering the mystery behind the zombie outbreak.
The setting of Banoi is richly detailed, with lush jungles, pristine beaches, and decaying urban areas. This diverse environment provides a variety of challenges and opportunities for exploration. The contrast between the island’s natural beauty and the horror of the zombie apocalypse creates a unique and compelling atmosphere.
In addition to the main storyline, Dead Island features numerous side quests and missions that add depth to the game. These side quests often involve helping other survivors, scavenging for supplies, or investigating the cause of the outbreak. Completing these missions can provide valuable rewards and insights into the game’s lore.
No specific release date has been published by the developers, just that the game is due to arrive sometime in 2011. For more information, visit the Dead Island website.
