Dead Island: Epidemic Enters Steam Early Access
Free-to-play zombie MMO Dead Island: Epidemic has entered Steam Early Access beginning with three starter packs.
If you want to get your hands on the game before the open beta starts, as well as contribute to the game's development via the Steam Early Access program, you can contribute a little money now via three starter packs. Note: The following text is straight from Deep Silver.
Patient Zero ($16.99)
The entry pack offers 5 unique weapons, 3 additional characters, the Golden Sprocket Hammer, as well as boosters, character & gear points and in-game cash.
Deadicated Pack ($39.99)
Includes all of the Patient Zero Pack plus: 6 Tier 2 weapons, the Golden Precise Shotgun, the Keghammer, a larger booster and bundle of character & gear points and in-game cash plus exclusive access to Sam B as playable character. Additionally, players will also receive even more items & characters once the game heads into Open Beta and then again at the launch phase.

Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
