Not wanting to disappoint all those fans who's kept Dead Island on top of the charts all these past weeks, Techland has now released a brand new patch to send out tweaks and fixes for the game.

They're throwing in new Trophies as well to further up that gaming challenge. But first, on the new patch.

This release is called Update 1.02, which is made available for PS3 gamers in EU and the US regions. No idea yet as to if and when it will come out to other territories, but it is said to improve connectivity between players.

As for the additional Trophies thrown in the mix for the upcoming Bloodbath Arena DLC, you'd want to check out the screenshot below:

Dead Island has been consistently reigning on top of the charts, particularly in the UK, giving credence to the hype that surrounded it prior to its launch, albeit a very problematic one. Good thing the game turned out good, or else even the devs who left an "insider joke" in the game would have absolutely no reason to laugh.

That's good to hear. I'm not getting this game until a few patches have been rolled out and these bugs and glitches I'm hearing about are cleared up.

I downloaded it a couple days ago. Had the new trophies in my list since the first "patch" ..this one is awesome. No more butchers on escort missions..so to those who had trouble before..SOLVED..saving works..and I can play online again =) tho for some reason I couldn't connect..maybe its my wonky internet connection haha.

This patch solved a lot of issues and although I haven't played since getting my platinum yesterday, I can say most of the issues seem to be gone. If you had reservations about playing this due to the large quantity of glitches, feel free to put your doubt away - it's a fun game and it's worth playing. Give it a shot!

I downloaded it when it was released and it fixed everything and allowed me to get the Plat

So get killing all you other folks

**NOFORPAIN** · 09-28-2011

Like Terminal I got the plat and its more fun so much so that even if you get a bug or 2 it wont bother you since they have cleared up all the game breakers! BUY IT!!!

Looks like they need a NEW patch, I'm getting hardly any of my trophies popping. I've never seen it this severe, kinda irritating.

How do you mean? From what I hear, the one patch reset all challenges. If you had a corrupt file save, then you wouldn't be playing that file at all, so that's out.

I mean I just got the game, and even after the patch, trophies are not popping. That goes for story ones too. I just don't get it.
