Dead Island's first DLC pack, Bloodbath Arena, will launch for Xbox 360 on 22nd November in Europe, a day ahead of the PS3 release.
A Horde Mode variant, it gives you four different arenas in single player and co-op on which to bludgeon, hack or endlessly kick deadheads. There's a new weapon, the Brain Wave Bomb, which may not be as metaphorical as it sounds.
Bloodbath Arena will have a dedicated leaderboard, and you'll be able to port over experience points and item loot to the main Dead Island campaign. It'll cost 800 MP - or, if you preordered Dead Island, sweet Fanny Adams. As in nothing.
