New Dead Island Trailer Shows First In-Game Footage

By Nick Santangelo

Beaches, bikinis, zombies and...Oh dear lord, can't somebody cut that poor soul down from the palm tree already?

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

 
Back in February, Deep Silver released a CG trailer for Dead Island showing a vacationing family fighting off zombie attackers. The internet promptly went ballistic over the melee combat zombie game. Today, a new teaser has been unleashed that revisits that same somber atmosphere; but mixes in some footage of flaming zombies. Sweet.

Before concluding, the trailer also promises another video for E3. Only a few more weeks to go now. Stay tuned to MTB!
