‘Dread X Collection 5’ Launches With a Party [Trailer]

Published

on

In case you missed it, DreadXP’s fifth anthology of indie horror goodness (that being Dread X Collection 5) launched last Friday, and is out now on Steam. Better yet, you can grab the collection with a cool 10% discount from now until May 27th.

Continuing the storyline from Dread X Collection: The Hunt, you’re headed to Outpost 3000: the place every kid dreams of for their birthday. That also includes presents, which just so happen to be 12 games by “up-and-coming indie talents from around the world” that center around the theme of “entertainment”.

We dropped some info on each game in the collection here and here, so you don’t go in completely blind. That being said, the fun is in the discovery, right?

The Dread X Collection series premiered in May 2020 and has since spawned four individual releases, featuring a collective of curated horror shorts from some of the industry’s top independent developers. Inspired by Game Jam events, each collection has its own thematic concept which points the featured developers in a similar direction but with full creative freedom.

‘Dead Island 2’ Arrives on Steam With Hefty Discount [Trailer]

The wait is over for Steam users looking to stomp around Los Angeles busting zombie heads in Deep Silver and Dambuster’s Dead Island 2. The multimillion-selling follow-up to the 2011 original is now available on Steam, as well as the title’s two DLCs, including the recently-released “SoLA”. Deep Silver has marked the occasion with a new launch trailer.

In fact, Deep Silver has sweetened the deal with a 50% off sale for Dead Island 2 on Steam that’s on until April 29. That sale also applies to the title’s expansion packs and DLCs.

Just in case you missed it the first time around, Dead Island 2 centres around a deadly virus that’s spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the zombie inside of you.

Known as Slayers, you (and if you choose, up to three players in co-op mode) must embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into.

Dead Island 2 is also available on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
