Christmas is Coming Early: Check out the Cover Art for Dead Island (PS3) Releasing August 1st

Well, Deep Silver and Techland have the tone of Dead Island set squarely in horror, as blood red writing and zombies loom in this cover art for the game. This undead title releases August 1st and fans of the game can preview the art here, with the central character covered in demonic sigils (look closely). The roots of the zombie apocalypse on Banoi would therefore be of a supernatural source. Click on the graphic to tease your nightmares, left.

The game synopsis for Dead Island:

"The island of Banoi is a lush, tropical paradise in the South Pacific where its flagship Royal Palms Resort serves as the ultimate getaway for vacationers with money to burn. However, all good things must soon come to an end - and the picturesque resort falls into madness, carnage and chaos after a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak claims its once peaceful atmosphere. Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, to discover what's really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends" (Dead Island).
