Dead Island 2 Gameplay

A deadly virus has spread through Los Angeles, California, turning residents into ravenous zombies. Currently, the city is under quarantine and the military has withdrawn. Those who are bitten become infected, but not only are you immune, you learn to harness the zombies within.

Only you and a handful of other arrogant humans resistant to the pathogen will secure the future of Los Angeles (and humanity). As you uncover the truth behind the plague, you will discover who – or what – you are. Survive, evolve, and save the world – just one more day in Los Angeles!

The much-loved zombie saga returns with a unique formula of horror, dark humor, and over-the-top zombie killing, which includes an epic pulp adventure. Dead Island 2 is a thrilling first-person action RPG that takes players across a new playground.

Stylish, vibrant, and awash with zombie infection, venture into iconic, rain-soaked Los Angeles. Meet larger-than-life characters. Kill countless enemies in excruciatingly gory detail. And evolve into the ultimate Zombie Slayer. See you in HELL-A!

Some key features:

• Dead Island 2 takes players through the City of Angels’ most iconic locations, now tinged with horror, on an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbs of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach.
• Combat provides the most intense, immersive, and bloody first-person experience, with plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to chew your way through the zombie hordes.
• There are six characters to choose from, each with unique personalities and dialogue. You can fully customize each Slayer’s abilities, with our new skill system allowing you to instantly re-specify and attempt the craziest builds.
• Our Los Angeles is filled with zombies that look and react realistically. These mutated wretches are the revived rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of different zombie types, each with their own Los Angeles-themed mutations, attacks, and hundreds of variants.
• Day One Edition includes a balanced Memories of Banoi Pack (Banoi War Club, Memories of Banoi Baseball Bat, Weapon Perk), and a personal space skill card.

Dead Island 2 is confirmed to release for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC (Epic Games Store) on 28 April 2023.
