Deep Silver's upcoming free-to-play multi-player online battle arena Dead Island Epidemic is now accepting sign-ups for the title's closed beta, according to the game's site playdie.net. Details of the game are also outlined on the site. The "core mode" of Epidemic "features 3 teams of 4 battling it out in a competition to grab supplies, hold key points, outsmart the competition and blast through hordes of zombies." Controls are "good ol' WASD," which are touted as the cure for "Last Hitting, mouse-click-to-move nonsense." Deep Silver also touts Epidemic's crafting mechanic, a Dead Island staple. When registering for the Epidemic beta, "All newly registered players can directly join the 30,000 Alpha testers and make their first steps in Dead Island: Epidemic even before the official start of the Closed Beta, they will receive exclusive in-game items and rewards as the Closed Beta proceeds which they can keep afterwards." Isaac Parakhen, Brand Manager for Dead Island: Epidemic, says “We received outstanding feedback from our Alpha tester and are looking very much forward to many new players who will join us and help us to make Dead Island: Epidemic the best possible ZOMBA experience." Epidemic has no official release date yet. Source: IGN
