Unable to escape zombie dollars, Deep Silver reveals Escape Dead Island game

If you’ve gone to the trouble of creating a fictional island with lots of zombies, you might as well make use of it. Deep Silver is doing so with the launch of Escape Dead Island, the latest game in its zombie-killing series.

While past Dead Island games were first-person zombie combat games, this is a third-person survival mystery single-player game. This new effort uses a different comic-style art — it’s similar to The Walking Dead episodic game series from Telltale Games. This is in contrast to the more realistic 3D graphics of Dead Island. It debuts on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC this fall.
