Dead Island Infects PS Home With Exclusive Content

Deep Silver and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced today that shortly before its release Dead Island will also appear on PlayStation Home. Players will get an exclusive opportunity to further deepen their Dead Island experience through Home’s Total Game Integration campaign.

Just like the co-op mode in Dead Island this mini game can be played with up to 4 players in different play styles. There are 10 mini-game challenges associated with the game and users who complete all 10 will be awarded with an exclusive in-game weapon “Exploding Meat”.

Players can also have their photo taken with a zombie or take a zombie survival survey where they can prove their knowledge of the undead and earn 4 free PlayStation Home rewards.

Certain items will only be obtained through this PlayStation Home event. Each week will introduce more levels and unlockable content including a premium PlayStation Home reward “Exploding Zombie Outfit” for players that pre-order Dead Island directly from Home Square and the aforementioned “Exploding Meat”, a powerful weapon for use in Dead Island that can only be acquired by surviving the PlayStation Home onslaught.

PlayStation Home users will also be able to pre-order Dead Island through a themed kiosk directly from the Home Square.
