Dead Island 'Bloodbath Arena' DLC aiming for mid-November
Those waiting on Dead Island's first downloadable content, "Bloodbath Arena," can continue sitting patiently while the elevator music drifts onward indefinitely. The add-on is now looking at a mid-November release, according to the Facebook page for the game. Similar to what was said earlier by Deep Silver about how improving the experience for current players was the immediate goal before putting out follow-up content, the announcement message reiterates Techland's objective to work on quality across all platforms. As has been said by many people, I think that's a respectable way to go about it. Not like we won't have plenty to play on the build up to November, anyway. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Good to hear, still playing this game even though my friends kicked it after the first playthrough. Depending on how my bf3 and skyrim experiences shape up I might look at getting this a little more seriously... Love the game and after the most recent patches came through I see none of the problems with all the exploits left (unlimited shock machetes ftw). Hit me up on psn, same as the DTOID name. I haven't opened my copy thanks to resistance 3. I may play it tom if I'm in no mood for rage, dark souls, Ico, WKC II, nba. Damn. I got too many games!!!! Stale? Psh, the game is tight! Like a toiger!
I'll keep waiting for DLC, for now getting all the achievements. Only two left! Can you use the code from the start? I got a hold of a code, but it doesn't work, is it just not active or is it used? Game is addictive as hell but fuck that Arena DLC. For ten dollars Techland can lick white dog shit. 1:00 PM on 05.18.2013 NPD: Injustice and Dead Island lead sales in April[DC zombie sculpts by Casey Love Designs] The NPD Group released US sales data for April 2013 two days ago, but a complete lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Destructoid staff has delayed our posting it.
