Dead Island 2 will be available in a few hours, the opportunity to take a tour of the most important information about it, including the opinion of our editorial staff on this unexpected resurrection.
Dead Island marked the beginning of the 2010s with its fun gameplay and uncompromising gore. This action and survival game in the middle of the zombie apocalypse offers us its second installment more than ten years later, something to delight fans who were hardly expecting any more news from this license. Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have also provided us with a more than adequate Dead Island 2, brilliantly incorporating the best aspects of its venerable elder, and offering a fun and uninhibited experience.
If you played the first Dead Island a little over a decade ago, you won’t be surprised at the gameplay nature of this new outing. The game arises once again in a post-apocalyptic survival FPS, in a Los Angeles taken over by hordes of bloodthirsty zombies. Once again, you will have to navigate this environment dead and alive, completing main and secondary quests. You will have at your disposal a skill tree, tools to craft your weapons and gadgets, and loot to collect in this semi-open world.
As a surprise announcement for the opening night of Gamescom 2022, Deep Silver and Dambuster finally presented us with the long-awaited Dead Island 2, through a gameplay trailer that surprised us with its graphic quality and… announcement of a release date. And yes, you are not dreaming, Dead Island 2 is planned for the next April 21an output that can be found directly on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox Series and Xbox One. It would therefore seem that the development nightmare is entirely over for Deep Silver, while fans are happy to reconnect with a license that has proven its worth.
