Developer Deep Silver today has announced a competition to promote their upcoming game, dead Island Riptide – with the search for a bride and groom for a zombie-themed wedding. They’ll become the centrepiece of the UK launch celebrations for the new game, which is slated to be released later this year.
The lucky two engaged Dead Island fans who win will be zombified for a Dead Island twist on an established beach wedding ceremony takes in every cemetery, grave and crypt the length and extent of the UK. The zombie bride and groom for their service will be supplied, a Dead Island Riptide-themed zombie wedding ceremony and be sent on a luxury Caribbean honeymoon.
To enter, applicants are to record a short video message to YouTube explaining why they are the perfect undead candidates for the wedding ceremony, and to share the link via the official Dead Island Riptide Zombie Wedding page on Facebook.
A board from Deep Silver will review all the applications and then contact a small list of candidates to see if they’ve got what it takes to become the ultimate undead couple. The closing date for all applications is suitably on Valentine’s Day, 14th February 2013, with the winning couple to be revealed at the start of March.
Amy Namihas, Head of Marketing & Public Relations, Deep Silver UK, said:
“For the launch celebrations of Dead Island Riptide we wanted to do something different, and a zombie wedding with all the trappings certainly fits the bill and has not been done on this scale before. We’re excited to see the application videos from our prospective undead bride and groom and look forward to hosting the wedding of the fear.”
