“Bloodbath Arena” the new DLC for Dead Island

Dead Island will soon be getting new DLC entitled ‘Bloodbath Arena’, offering gameplay similar to that of the Horde mode found in the Gears of War games.

Here’s the press release that goes into more detail about the ‘Bloodbath Arena’ mode:

Deep Silver today announced the release date of the “Bloodbath Arena” DLC pack for the award winning game Dead Island. The DLC will be available on November 22, 2011 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

In the “Bloodbath Arena” DLC four different arenas offer new challenges that can be played alone or in coop mode. It’s a desperate fight for survival where waves after waves of unrelenting zombies attack, one more gruesome than the next! In this DLC characters can loot experience points and items and bring them over to the campaign mode. Players can show off their skills in zombie fighting with the newly implemented leaderboards. The brain wave bomb, a new exclusive weapon, tops this DLC package off.
