Dead Island publisher Deep Silver has today announced that the first two Dead Island games will be remastered and released on current-gen consoles and PC in one bundle under the title Dead Island: Definitive Collection.

The bundle includes Dead Island and its follow-up, Dead Island: Riptide, and a new 16-bit runner entitled Dead Island: Retro Revenge.

The game boasts overhauled visuals, and utilises Techland's current-gen engine, promising to provide significant visual and performance upgrades, and introducing 'cutting edge current-generation graphical effects.'

Some of the new graphical features include higher quality textures, a new photo-realistic lighting system, and better shading techniques. The new games will also make use of the latest console features such as online 4-player co-op, PS Vita Remote-Play and PS4 Share-play, along with streaming and recording capabilities. A fan-favourite PC mod will also be included in the game, named Power Fists Power-up.

The Dead Island Definitive Collection will be available for €39.99/£29.99, and you can also buy the remastered versions of each individual game for €19.99/£14.99 each. The games are set to release on May 31 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
