About Dead Island Definitive Edition

About this game

Developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver.

In Dead Island, you'll step into the shoes of someone who's been caught on the tropical island of Banoi amidst the zombie outbreak. Upon realising what's happening, you have only one goal: survive.

Remastered Experience

Dead Island Definitive Edition offers full HD with improved graphics, game models, and even a photorealistic lighting system to help you immerse yourself in the story!

Gore Everywhere

Don't feel bad for the zombies as you smash their heads, crack their skulls and slice them in half with the array of weapons available; they were going to try to eat your brain anyway! 

Safe In A Pack

Invite up to three other friends to join you in surviving the apocalypse! Live through the story together, and experience a world gone mad!

Tropical Nightmare

Explore the desolate island and feel the tense atmosphere of the apocalypse whilst you traverse it. Be careful with zombies, scavenge everything, and, most importantly: bash some heads in.

It's a great pick for anyone who likes zombie apocalypse. Fighting, crafting and the true sense of adventure. Not to mention the original soundtrack by Sam B. ;D Now is definitely the right time to play (or replay) this gem before trying Dead Island 2.

I’m very impressed by this game. A game that old is still fun and cool up to this date! I really liked this game. It’s extremely violent and fun, you just go around an island and f*** zombies until they die, very cool.
