NEWS: Dead Island Epidemic Beta Begins Soon

Deep Silver has confirmed the beta will start soon but with no specific date mentioned as of yet.


Players are encouraged to sign up now if they want to gain access to the beta, which is to start shortly - sign ups are taking place at the official website.

Dead Island Epidemic takes a departure from the last two games, which had players taking on hordes of Zombies using first person mechanics - instead you'll be tackling the undead from a top-down point of view with a more arcade style and overall feel.

The official blurb says "Dead Island Epidemic is a fast-paced action game where players will duke it our over supply points, using an arsenal of crafted weaponry, a bevy of devastating powers, and good old-fashion teamwork."

Deep Silver seems to be proud to introduce a new genre in the industry too, known as the ZOMBA - Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Adventure. This will introduce various features including Battle Royale, in which 3 teams of 4 must work together in order to gain supplies, holding down particular areas of the map, all whilst gunning down oncoming Zombie hordes.

The game is to be PC exclusive and is to release through Steam, there is no release date as of yet - if you want to take part in the upcoming beta, be sure to sign up now as places could be limited.
