Escape Dead Island release date announced alongside new trailer

Escape Dead Island, the third-person survival mystery spin-off of the popular Dead Island franchise, will be released on November 18. It's coming to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Developed by Fatshark, Escape Dead Island unravels the origins of the mysterious zombie outbreak, connecting the events of Dead Island and its recently announced successor Dead Island 2. You play as Cliff Calo, son of a wealthy media empire mogul "with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove." After hearing about the gruesome events that took place on the island of Banoi (in Dead Island), Calo sets off to uncover the origins of the virus and expose the truth behind the outbreak.

To help give you a better idea, Deep Silver has also released a new trailer giving us a look at beautiful paradise setting and unique style that "accompanies the player on his struggle against insanity." Check out the trailer above and get pumped.
