Het heeft even geduurd, maar de Dead Island Bloodbath Arena DLC is nu eindelijk beschikbaar via Steam, PlayStation 3 en de Xbox 360. Deze DLC is gratis voor de mensen die de game hebben gepre-orderd, en anders voor rond de tien Euro virtueel aan te schaffen.
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 also show off their skills in zombie fighting with the newly implemented leaderboards.
