Deep Silver has announced plans to release a Game of the Year Edition for Dead Island, featuring both pieces of previously released DLC.

It will be available June 26 in the U.S for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. No solid date has been given for Europe, but expect it to be June 29. The GOTY Edition bundles the original game with the Bloodbath Arena multiplayer DLC and the Ryder White single-player expansion, for the tiny sum of just $30.

Dead Island released to critical acclaim last year and went on to enjoy reasonable success, shipping around three million copies. If you’re yet to try out this fantastic zombie game, then we seriously suggest that you pick this up.
