Come join us for a stay on the beautiful tropical island of Banoi, where every cocktail has tiny umbrellas, brains, and a nail bat hiding somewhere near your poolside beach towels. This is Dead Island, and it’s no sweetheart vacationing spot.
This zombie-killing holiday generated quite the discussion with its announcement trailer and has gone on to enjoy superstar successes. After just one week of release in the United States, Dead Island is enjoying chart-topping and sales numbers that would make the best games jealous, sitting at more than 1 million units sold.
“We’re thrilled at the retail reception Dead Island has achieved in its first few days,” said Geof Mulligan, COO of Deep Silver. “The critical ‘first week’ of game sales has been an enormous sales success for Deep Silver. We’re working quickly with our distribution partner in North America, Square Enix, to restock shelves as quickly as we can.”
Despite releasing an unfinished version of the game on Steam, Dead Island still remains a hot commodity within the zombie-killing genre. Have you booked a flight to this island getaway yet?
