Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have released a 14-minute extended gameplay trailer that shows beginning of Dead Island 2.
Welcome to Bel Air v Los Angeles. The zombie apocalypse has just broken out, and tough punk Dani must fight for her life against the blood-infected. Dani encounters the standard zombies, each with their own specific terrifying abilities and behaviors.
Dani’s toughness and balance lends itself well to an agile fighting style. In today’s video, he is tasked with trying to get to the Halperin Hotel. You’ll see a combination of skill card sets that enhance abilities, and quartering technology known as FLESH (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids). It is a procedural gore system that will allow us to make zombies “meat piñatas”. Depending on which part of the body is hit, realistic damage is done, whether it’s bladed weapons tearing through layers of skin and flesh or blunt weapons crushing bone.
Enemy damage will also be affected by hits, angle of fall, strength and distance. And last but not least, the opponents themselves. As an example, the developers cite ordinary zombies, which will decay like any decaying undead human. You can rip open the belly of the larger zombies, which can cause their guts to spill out onto the floor.
You will have available a whole range of weapons, which will be upgradeable, including cutting and shooting. In this regard, Dead Island 2 will be more action-packed than Dying Light 2. Just be careful about the condition of your equipment for killing enemies.
Dead Island 2 will be released on 4/28/2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. They will be in the game Czech subtitles.
