Following yesterday's announcement that Dead Island: Epidemic is now available on Steam as an early access offering, Deep Silver has shared brand new screenshots and some high-resolution artwork from the game.
Early Access is for gamers that are looking to try out a game while it is still in development. While the game should be relatively stable, it's not the final version, but it will allow you to help support the developers and improve the game. Three separate "Early Access" packs are being offered and we have more details direct from Deep Silver below:
