Dead Island, arriva la patch per PS3 e Xbox 360

Techland ha svelato che le versioni console di Dead Island avranno finalmente la loro patch questa settimana.

Seguendo il "cerotto virtuale" già applicato alla release PC del gioco, Playstation 3 e Xbox 360 saranno patchate rispettivamente mercoledì 9 e giovedì 10 novembre.

Il lancio del DLC Bloodbath Arena, con cui saranno aggiunte quattro mappe per il gioco cooperativo, era stato messo in attesa proprio a fronte dei problemi che questa patch dovrebbe risolvere.
