Have you been dying for details on Deep Silver’s new free-t-play PC title, ‘Dead Island: Epidemic’? I know I have.
While there is still a lot of mystery surrounding this Steam exclusive we do know that it will be in the newly created realm of ZOMBA games (or Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Adventure, cute eh?)
You can play with 12 players at a time and the teams can be split into 3 teams of 4 members each. You will be battling not only hordes of zombies that are roaming the island but eachother as well. Winning team takes all!
The zombies will range from shamblers to boss zombies that will require a full team still standing to take down.
For those who don’t like to fight the entire time there is also a crafting system in place to forge and customize a large array of weapons that will allow for 100’s of weapons to be created.
There will be hundreds of weapons, trinkets and items that players can craft, and once crafted, these weapons can continue to be improved to fully suit a player’s personality and play style.
Combining weapons and their effects and perks will offer an enormous range of possible setups and a new take on gameplay in this genre.
Unlike other MOBAs, the gameplay isn’t focused on attack the other teams’ base, but rather on fighting over control points and various targets strewn about the map.
This provides shifting, dynamic gameplay as players constantly need to adapt their focus and occasionally team up with opposing forces throughout match play. Tackling dynamic gameplay objectives are key to success.
So there you have it. The current details we have on the game and it sounds like it is one (specially being free to play) that could be a complete blast. We’ll see as more details leak out!
