Now that the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is winding down at the Los Angeles Convention Center, some informational gems are starting to be released from game companies. Preeminent among those is Deep Silver and its highly anticipated game Dead Island.

As many of you know, this “open sandbox” zombie game set on the resort island of Banoi received a lot of attention after its initial trailer was released online. We here at Dread Central have been spoon-feeding you some images and video of gameplay, but Deep Silver dropped a body bag full of new stuff at E3, and we have it all for you.

Welcome to the Island of Banoi!

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 will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
