HBAO and motion blur effects: The introduction of Horizon-based Ambient Occlusion adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the world. Through a better implementation of object shadows and the all-new motion blur effects, players will get a much more cinematic feel to the game experience.

Updated game UI: The updated game UI provides a more consistent look for Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide.
