The player is drawn into the world of Dead Island on
the brink of a mysterious epidemic that suddenly,
and without warning, breaks out on the fictional island
of Banoi. As a guest of the Royal Palms Resort,
the player's stay was supposed to be a dream holiday;
a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a tropical paradise.
But faced with the reality of a zombie apocalypse,
there is only one thing left to do: Survive.

This is Dead Island... a paradise to die for.
