We talked about the technically impressive, morally degenerate trailer for upcoming Anti-Zombie game ‘Dead Island’ here previously on the ZRC blog as the massive Zombie/Worker Solidarity thing started to crank into high gear.

Now there are some details available on the game behind the trailer:

Deep Silver announced today that it will publish Dead Island, the upcoming zombie slasher by developer Techland.

Dead Island combines first-person action with melee combat, character development and weapons customisation. The game’s story is inspired by classic zombie movies, with a campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.

…

Dead Island will be released worldwide for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC later this year.

From the description and pictures, it looks like ‘Dead Island’ is an ambitious attempt to make an Anti-Zombie game for all Anti-Zombie gamers. It has the graphical polish of a ‘Resident Evil’, the co-operative hatemongering of a ‘Left 4 Dead’ and the improvised weaponry system of a ‘Dead Rising’, only without the silly road cones (presumably).

Clearly, this is a game to watch from a Zombie Rights perspective. It could be the first title in a new and boldly Living Supremacist gaming dynasty.
