Watch the Awesome, Heartbreaking Trailer for Dead Island

Upcoming zombie-survival game Dead Island isn’t your average zombie-survival game. Developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver, Dead Island is a departure from the standard survive a zombie horde with a ton of guns, instead aiming to create a more realistic situation.

Dead Island takes place on a tropical resort—not exactly the best place to find a cache of automatic weapons. The game will contain some guns, but the majority of gameplay will involve melee combat. In addition, the game introduces RPG mechanics—experience and leveling up—to improve your character’s zombie slaying abilities.
