Wish this patch was at launch, I woulda still been playing it. Great game, horrible bugs (At least when I was playing in Sept) I'd play for several hours save, come back next day and nothing saved. Did this like 4 times till I finally sold the game. I beat it and loved playing the co-op but the bugs made it unplayable for me.
Looking SOO foward to hearing more info on Dead World!!

@5 Yup, last week devs of Dead Island trademarked the name "Dead World" and when asked about it refused to comment about the trademarking.
Its just speculation but it sounds like a sequel to me.
