Dead Island is an Open World Action RPG

It's been a very busy year for RPG news, and that's the excuse I'm going to use for never realizing that Deep Silver is now touting Techland's sweet-looking zombie slasher as an "open world action RPG" where you can "collect and customize thousands of weapons", "level up", and allocate points into "skill trees". It's hard to say if there will be a robust quest system, dialogue trees, or deep character advancement options, but I still think that's enough evidence to give the game a spot in our RPG database.

So, without further adieu, I'll direct you over to our new Dead Island image gallery for all of the latest screenshots and concept art, as well as our YouTube channel for the insanely good (and violent) cinematic teaser trailer and the more recent "Tragedy Hits Paradise" trailer:
