Dead Island pre-order bonuses detailed

Deep Silver has announced pre-order bonuses for Dead Island, which includes DLC called Bloodbath.

It contains a single player and multiplayer “Horde-style challenges in four different arenas,” and experience points gained through the DLC will carry over the main campaign mode.

Leaderboards will be available in the DLC pack as well as a new weapon called the “brain wave bomb.”

Likely, if past history of pre-order bonuses are any indication, the DLC will be made available for a fee sometime after launch. We’ll ask.

The Techland zombie actioner is out later this year on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Thanks, Spong.

^ So you were disappointed when you saw it was what the game was being advertised to be?

Anyway, a ‘horde-mode’ sounds pretty important to be limited to preorders, especially when its coop. I mean that mode pretty much made Gears 2 & Halo ODST.

Did you miss the “/s” Gek or did you miss out on web-slang?

The context is “It’s a fucking zombie sandbox game!” How can anyone not be excited by that?! It’s like GTA zombie.

IOW, only an asshat wouldn’t be excited by this.

Think, “I was excited about playing the lottery until I won 200 million dollars.”
