As many of you know, Deep Silver and renowned game developer Techland’s long anticipated zombie game Dead Island is being readied for release later this year. The trailer caused a sensation when it was released online, and fans have been clamoring for more of what the game is going to look like.

Well, Dread Central just got its hot little hands on some new images from the game, and we wanted to share them with you!

Here’s a rundown on the game from Deep Silver’s website:

The player is drawn into the world of Dead Island on the brink of a mysterious epidemic that suddenly, and without warning, breaks out on the fictional island of Banoi. As a guest of the Royal Palms Resort, the player’s stay was supposed to be a dream holiday; a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a tropical paradise. But faced with the reality of a zombie apocalypse, there is only one thing left to do: Survive.

This is Dead Island… a paradise to die for.

Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.
