Dead Island 2 Launches More Of The Zed Into Our World Again

Dead Island

The launch is here for Dead Island 2 to take us into HELL-A and bring more of the classic Dead Island back too

The undead are rising up once more at the end of the week (April 21st) as Dead Island 2 launches out there for us all. It was one Hells of a ride to get here with so many hurdles to get over, but Dambuster Studios has managed to do it and we will all get to see just what the game has for us on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. All of which, looks like there will be much more to it than the previous Dead Island titles out there. Even if it feels like we are seeing one of the tropes leaned into quite a bit more just before the official launch of the game.

If you need a good Dead Island 2 fix to help pass the next few days, currently, then we have a new trailer for you to take in here. The launch trailer is here and it takes us into the game and shows off a little more of the story. Like the fact that our protagonist seems to think they are the only special one out there for being immune. Even if it has been clearly shown and explained that each of the slayers have that going on for them. It feels like the sense of humor is right back in here for Dead Island 2 and with that, possibly some of the older characters some of us may have been hoping to hear from again. Have a look and see what is coming here by the end of the week.

  • Zombie Infestation – Ready to experience the most advanced dismemberment system in games? Our LA is crawling with zombies that look and react realistically. These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks, and hundreds of visual LA-themed variants. Our monsters are relentless, challenging, and true Los Angelinos. Will you be able to survive?

Does it still feel like a dream that Dead Island 2 is finally making the leap out there to us or did we always just need to stay patient for it? Could we get lucky and see more of the original crew from the game in the mix again or will we only get the fun cameo nods instead? What about the characters from some of the spin-off titles and the weird mechanics they brought to the IP too? Head down to the comment section and then let the world know just what you have on your mind. This is most likely not the last bit of news we will have for Dead Island 2, so please keep checking back in for all of those other updates and everything else we will have along the way.
