Deep Silver has confirmed that Techland’s zombie action title will release in the US with a different and ‘toned down’ box art cover. To appease ESRB?
Europe will still see a launch with the original Dead Island logo featuring a hanged figure for the letter ‘I’, whereas the US gets a shuffling zombie.
The ESRB has issued no comment to reports that they applied pressure to publisher Deep Silver to alter the box art. Dead Island has rocketed into the spotlight after they debuted a CGI trailer for the open world zombie survivor.
Dead Island releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this year.
