Escape Dead Island due to release next week | Launch trailer

A third-person shooter set in the Dead Island universe is coming to both PC and previous gen (Xbox 360, PS3) consoles next week.

Fatshark, developer of Escape Dead Island, is describing their new game as a survival-mystery game, and the style looks to deviate quite a bit from the original games in the series.

Fatshark adds it's own art-style and creative take on the Dead Island universe in Escape Dead Island.

While the setting remains, Fatshark has taken their own liberties with creating an entirely new experience under the Dead Island name. The single-player focused game encourages players to mix both the typical action style of combat and a more reserved stealthy approach throughout the story.

The game takes place between the event of Dead Island 1 and Dead Island 2. Players will learn the origins of the outbreak and a greater understanding of the Dead Island universe.

Escape Dead Island releases this Tuesday (11/18/14) on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 for $39.99.

Deep Silver’s first showcase at Gamescom reveals some new undead chaos in the city of Los Angeles.

Almost three years after the initial release of the first Dead Island, there seems to be an even greater emphasis on the absurd this time around. The “Sunshine & Slaughter” Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer demonstrates a massive variety of ludicrous ways to take down the zombie invested city.

Electric shocks, freezing the undead where they stand, smashing their heads with sledgehammers, and a mass amount of other approaches are available to satisfy your zombie killing needs.

Dead Island 2 will be releasing Spring, 2015 on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.
