Dead Island, a new zombie game coming next year for the Xbox 360 and PC takes place on a mysterious island. After a plane crash, you have to hunt through the zombie-infested paradise looking for your wife. The game is said to have amazing damage modeling (think torn flesh, exposed muscles, broken bones), an "artificial life system" that will allow you to take advantage of the instinctive behavior of groups and individuals, an open, non-linear world and the ability to use the world around you as weapons. The game follows the gameplay details in Dead Rising, but this new setting and different publisher should make for a different twist on the story.
