With this panel, I think is will be a very interesting discussion! Dead Island is Deep Silver’s new upcoming zombie action RPG; which focuses heavily on melee combat. Players will be able to customize their character with a vast array of weapons. As well as play with up to four players in co-op mode. Dead Island is set to release September 6, 2011 and for a limited time with GameStop preorders are being automatically upgraded to the Special Edition.
