Deep Silver: 'Dead Island-patch voor consoles is onderweg'

Menno (tuut-chips)

Dead Island-developer Deep Silver heeft gezegd dat de consolepatch van Dead Island onderweg is. Ze willen nog geen datum geven, maar verzekeren spelers ervan dat ze er hard mee bezig zijn en dat de patch zo snel mogelijk op PSN en Xbox Live staat.

Developer Aubrey Norris vertelde aan VG247.com waarom ze nog geen releasedatum wilde geven.

“People put so much pressure on devs to announce specific release dates and then when something happens to change that they just rage again,”

“I’ve seen tons of instances of fan rage when devs announce delays. ‘Oh it needs more time? It must be shit then.”

De consolepatch zal waarschijnlijk dezelfde content hebben als die voor pc. De changelist van de pc-versie staat hieronder.
