Fans have waited for years, but the new Dead Island 2 trailer reveals that the game has finally been given a release date. The announcement marks eight years since the initial Dead Island 2 trailer.
Announced at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase, the new trailer shows Jacob, one of six playable characters in the game, seemingly infected with a virus. The montage shows him slaughtering his way through Los Angeles, using both a gun and a katana.
Here’s everything we know about the release.
How will the game work?
There will be six different characters to choose from. Players will have a variety of skills and abilities to use, with every character having unique voice lines and personalities.
Dead Island 2 will also have a “pulp story” alongside a “crazy cast of characters” and a number of quests to complete.
“Combat delivers the most intense, visceral, and gory first-person experience possible,” reads the game’s website, “with plenty of weapons and brutally tactical options to chew your way through the zombie horde. Whether you’re slicing, smashing, burning or ripping, we want you to truly feel it.”
When will Dead Island 2 be released?
Dead Island 2 will release on February 3, 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
