14 DAY TRIAL // After being rumored a few weeks ago, Deep Silver has confirmed the Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition that will be released at the end of June and beginning of July all around the world and includes the previously launched downloadable add-ons for the zombie-killing experience.
Dead Island was a whole new property set in an already crowded genre, but this didn’t stop it from becoming a best seller, with Deep Silver confirming that over 3 million units were sold all around the world since its launch last year.
Now, after receiving a few downloadable add-ons made by developer Techland, Deep Silver has confirmed that a comprehensive Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition will be launched this summer.
Set to include the Bloodbath Arena mode, the Ryder White story campaign, and the weapon blueprint for The Ripper, this game is set to deliver the definitive Dead Island experience.
For a rundown of the two major add-ons included in the DLC, check out Deep Silver’s descriptions below.
“Ryder White”: This story line offers a new unique perspective into the incidents in the main story of Dead Island: This time the player will get the chance to play as Ryder White, the antagonist of the main game; learn more about his motivations and why, from his point of view, he did what he had to do. This fresh take on the Dead Island story shows Ryder White both as a military man and a loving husband. The story stars Ryder White as a newly playable character and offers a single player campaign with several hours of story content with twists and turns that will shed new light on the happenings in the main game. Two blueprints and weapons will further expand the already impressive arsenal of Dead Island.
“Bloodbath Arena”: In “Bloodbath Arena” four different arenas offer new challenges that can be played alone or in coop mode. It’s a desperate fight for survival where waves after waves of unrelenting zombies attack, one more gruesome than the next! In “Bloodbath Arena” characters can loot experience points and items and bring them over to the campaign mode. Players can show off their skills in zombie fighting with the newly implemented leaderboards. Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition is out on June 26, in North America, and July 6, in Europe, for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.
