Square Enix Signs Dead Island

Deep Silver today announced that Square Enix will be the Americas region distributor for Dead Island, a gruesome zombie slasher developed by Techland and set to be available worldwide later this year, for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Powered by Chrome Engine 5, Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customisation of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.
