The complete journey / Techland, later Dambuster Studios
Paradise, overrun
Techland's zombie series began in 2011 on the holiday island of Banoi. First-person melee, loot and weapon crafting drive the main games, and Dead Island 2 moves the outbreak to Los Angeles.

Game 1 of 6
01 of 06
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.
Before you press start
Dead Island and Riptide tell one continuing story, so play them in that order. Dead Island 2 has a new setting and cast and works fine on its own. Escape Dead Island and Retro Revenge are spin-offs, so save them for later.
More than the main path
Dead Island put a zombie outbreak in a luxury resort and handed you whatever was lying around. Riptide carried on where it stopped, then Dead Island 2 moved to Los Angeles after years of development trouble. Spin-offs tried stealth, side-scrolling and even a MOBA.

They thought they had escaped Banoi, but can't wake up from this nightmare. Thrown back into the midst of the Zombie outbreak, the fight for survival continues! Dead Island Riptide takes players to the island of Palanai on the Banoi archipelago, infested with bloodthirsty Zombies and only a few remaining Survivors still fighting for their lives. Introducing new terrifying enemies, deadly weapons, a new playable character and much more, Dead Island Riptide will draw players back into a world that has grown corrupt - with the last rays of hope vanishing in rising tides.
