We saw a few bits of in-game footage from Dead Island last week, but this week's new video takes it to the next level. The latest trailer to come out of Deep Silver and Techland is almost 12 minutes of zombie zilling gameplay with narration provided by Vincent Kummer, Deep Silver's brand manager. Check it out below for a look at some of the game's mechanics and the non-zombified residents of Banoi.

Set in an open world tropical island teeming with hordes of different festering zombies, Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and a vast array of customizable weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.

With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilising found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.

Dead Island is currently set for release later this year on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Square Enix will be publishing the survival horror game in North America.
