It’s been 10 years since Deep Silver rocked the entire video game industry with one of the best trailers in the industry. And a decade later those responsible have sought a similar impact with the premiere of the opening cinematic scenes of Dead Island 2.
Created by Elastic under the supervision of Dambuster Studios, this advance allows us to discover Los Angeles, now tinged with horror and immerse yourself in the particular Pulp style of the game, as a preamble to your one-way trip to HELL-A. See a deserted, blood-stained Hollywood Boulevard, as well as the empty mansions of the rich and famous. Visit what was once known as the City of Angels and discover the gory details that await you in sunny, zombie-infested California.
Dead Island 2 will be released on April 21, 2023 on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PS5 and on the Epic Games Store for PC.
A deadly virus is spreading through Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have withdrawn. Bitten, infected but more than immune, you learn to harness the tainted powers that course through your veins. Only you, and the handful of other braggart assholes who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, have the future of Los Angeles (and humanity) hanging in the balance. You were born for this. As you discover the reality behind the outbreak, you will discover the truth of who or what you are. Survive, evolve, save the world… One more day in Los Angeles!
The combat offers the most visceral and bloody intense first-person experience possible, with a multitude of weapons and brutally tactical options to fight your way through the horde of zombies. Whether you are slicing, crushing, burning or tearing, we want you to feel it for real.
Become the ultimate zombie hunter. There are six characters to choose from, each with their own personality and unique dialogue. You can fully customize the abilities of each assassin, with the new ability system allowing you to reset the specifications instantly and try out the craziest builds.
Ready to experience the most advanced dismemberment system in gaming? Our city of Los Angeles is infested with zombies that are realistically displayed and reacted. These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2, featuring dozens of different zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks, and hundreds of Los Angeles-themed visual variants. Our monsters are relentless, defiant, and true Angels. Will you be able to survive?
As RPG experience, Dead Island 2 offers a ton of exciting missions, a crazy cast of characters and an exciting story in the purest style of pulp literature, to really immerse you in its twisted universe. The replayability is guaranteed. Throw in a co-op mode for up to three players and you’re in for a very long (and bloody) stay in Los Angeles.
