Last Updated on August 5, 2021

My word, this is awesome. Easily one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen for a video game, this DEAD ISLAND preview will give you an equal helping of chills and thrills. Not content to simply sell the upcoming game, it also aims to get under your skin and not just with the usual gore and zombie-mangling; folks, this isn’t necessarily fun in the truest sense of the word, but it’s bloody good all the same.

The Xbox game doesn’t have a release date yet, but it does have the following synopsis: Dead Island is a non-linear first-person shooter in which you find yourself on an island plunged into chaos. It’s a place where the word “dead” has an entirely new meaning. Face the nightmare and fight for survival.


Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you, take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics, and explore the secrets hidden in the darkest regions of the island.

We’ll certainly be keeping an eye on this one… Speaking of eyes, get ready to dab them after watching this stirring trailer!
