Dead Island
A new story expansion is coming for Dead Island 2 with a new look at the upcoming Dead Island 2 Haus
Get ready for things to get a little weird-er in Dead Island 2 as we have a new story expansion that is looking to do just that. As if Dambuster Studios did not already make the game fun and weird enough, it looks like we are going to see how much weirder L.A. can be during a zombie apocalypse with this new DLC. Story DLC at that as this is not just a few new weapons and cards. No, Dead Island 2 Haus is a full narrative that will take us further into a new death cult that sprung up before the fall and then truly dug into it all after. All on November 2nd for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when the time comes.
This new expansion for Dead Island 2 will take us to a "new house" in the game's world that just happened to be the location for a mysterious and nightmarish techno-death cult out there. All owned and operated by a billionaire that may have had too many screws loose before things went sideways. In Haus, we will get to see just how surreal and insane this labyrinth goes with a new Crossbow and a new Axe weapon in hand. All as we get attacked by the various zombies in Dead Island 2 that look to have been decked out in some S&M gear or other techno-based stuff. Not to mention some truly dark and dirty locations that include an underground forest and BBQ joint run by a giant piglet-man. I did say it was going to get weird, right?
Dead Island 2 Haus — Introduction
Lose yourself in a surreal, psycho-horror dreamscape as you investigate a mysterious cult in Malibu with Dead Island 2 Haus, the first story expansion for Dead Island 2. Dead Island 2 Haus takes players to a completely new story, where a secret billionaire’s techno-death cult fights for survival amidst the Zombocalypse. Haus is a paragon of a new future, as prophesied by their enigmatic leader Konstantin. Players will battle through Haus with new weapons and cards, as they face legions of zombies intent on their slaughter.
Haus will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Epic Games Store) on November 2nd.
Haus is set in a completely new location, a mysterious and stylish villa in Malibu where the boundaries of morality are pushed to the limit. This nightmarish location serves as both a sanctuary and a machine to strip away flesh and harvest the soul. Players will weave through the deranged labyrinth of biomes where rational architecture is subverted by expanding narrative spaces. Players will have new slaying tools to survive the horror:
- K-ROSSBOW – crafted for precision and lethality, unleash devastating long-range firepower and explode zombified brains with ease
- Hog Roaster – the ultimate ticket to visceral slaying whilst you simultaneously butcher and BBQ zombies
- Dead Islands – to take the weight off your shoulders whilst you smash the undead enemies into oblivion
- 8 New Skill Cards – will embellish the player’s slayer with an expanded arsenal of skills
Dead Island 2 Haus — K-ROSSBOW
Dead Island 2 Haus — Hog Roaster
Dead Island 2 Haus — Cul De Sac
Dead Island 2 Haus — Long Piglet’s
Dead Island 2 Haus — Spawner Fight
In all honesty, if I did not know this was in the Dead Island 2 universe of things, I would have thought this a totally new title with all of these teases we had above. Once you know it is in the same setting, it is easy to spot how, but it is interesting how they are making this one location feel completely outside and alien to the rest of the game. Not in a bad way, but in a way that will definitely elevate the story they are trying to tell with this DLC. How we will get there in Dead Island 2 is still a mystery, but one I am down to figure out. Not to mention the motivations behind why the billionaire did what they did before and after the fall of civilization. That is always the most interesting part of these kinds of stories for me.
Does this get you all excited to dive back into Dead Island 2 or did you never leave the game and were just waiting for more? How do you suspect we will get to this new location or will it just be as simple as a warp over for us all? Can you see how all of this feels as a different game if you did not know it was just an expansion to another? Run into the comment section below to discuss all of this and all of the other things we have to share with the world out there. We are going to have more for Dead Island 2 and any other expansions on the site, so please keep on checking back in for all of those and many others yet to come.
