Dead Island Bloodbath Arena DLC Delayed

Further polishing of the main game pushes DLC release back

Dead Island developers, Techland, have confirmed via the game's official Facebook page that the "Bloodbath Arena" DLC, originally planned to be released in September, has been delayed.

We are working hard to make the Bloodbath Arena DLC available as soon as possible. However, due to further polishing of the main game the finalisation of the DLC code has been delayed. We know that many fans are eagerly waiting for it and apologise for any inconvenience. We expect to announce a release update next week.Once available, the "Bloodbath Arena" DLC will be priced at 800 MSP, or free if you purchased the Special Edition of the game. You can find more details of what the DLC will offer here.

I do not have much desire to play this game any more just because of all the headaches I had to endure from various glitches just so I could 100% this

I've invested a ridiculous amount of time trying to 100% this game. Two corrupted save files later, one of which was level 49, I just don't think I can be bothered any more.
Perhaps a bottle of Rosé instead.

I'd prefer to see it patched first anyway. I haven't had any major bugs but it did take me about four attempts to get "Ashes to Ashes" completed on my Logan playthrough.

No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.

No biggie as long as they prioritize the polish with the game the dlc delay shouldn't be too devastating

I haven't experienced a single problem with the game! I've been loving every minute of it and am just bummed out I didn't get a special edition. However, I won't be going for Bloodbath. I'll spend $$ on more storyline game content. If you beat the game then get a "new" sweet weapon in Bloodbath, does it even matter..

Can't wait for Dead City or Dead Suburbia (no idea how the game ends..!!). Seems like they have some open doors though ahead of them.

Maybe if they had fixed the glitches before they released the Game they would of been able to release the DLC sooner.

Haven't experienced one problem while playing. And I am still waiting on the 28th day as I'm not that lame to boost my XBox's calendar.

only missing the location achievement because it was glitched :@ should have just brought out a patch that unlocked the achievement for anyone that had 72/72 locations

MH The Rockstar - 1 hour "reveal" that really didn't reveal much. Need more details before I can form an objective opinion.

Meh, glitched DLC for a glitched game... it's disappointing since I was interested in this game but the headaches people have seem to have put me off.

I can wait on the DLC, and honestly, there may be some glitches on this game, but I'm enjoying this game. I have yet to encounter any game breaking glitches for me. Yes, it could've used some extra time for polish before release, but it's not as bad as people say for everyone

HAHA in that press release they say they are still polishing up the main game and had to delay the DLC. Really??? Polishing up the main game? Shouldn't this be done before the game is released? Sorry still pissed at all my save corruptions and 72/72 and no achievement. BTW they also should thank all of us for beta testing their game for them.
Oh how I loathe thee completion percentage
