Bloodbath Arena DLC delayed for Dead Island

Deep Silver and Techland have announced Dead Island's Bloodbath Arena DLC has been delayed.

According to a post on the game's official Facebook page: "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."

Earlier this month, the game's publisher announced that the DLC could possibly see a delay as the dev team continued to focus on fixing gameplay bugs, and various other issues.

Bloodbath Arena, the first of two downloadable content packs planned, was originally scheduled for a late-September release.
