Dead Island 2 Gets Long-Awaited Trailer And Release Date

Earlier this week, the Dead Island 2: Day One Edition leaked on Amazon, showing a Lenny Kravitz-like warrior on the box cover. So, it’s only fitting that Gamescom 2022 ended with two trailers (cinematic and gameplay) for the long-overdue zombie-slaying sequel. 

Jacob is a slim, fit survivor who leaves behind his bloodied condo to venture into the Californian undead hellscape. With an empty rifle, Jacob kills many enemies and juggles it through their bodies. Then, with the wooden butt of his weapon, he smashes their heads into concrete. 

This trailer features scenic beaches and forsaken areas, abandoned streets in cities, and still-lit carnivals. In one what is one of the most graphic clips I’ve ever seen at a game show, we watch as the player-character clobbers zombies with blunt objects, jumpkicks adversaries off roofs (parkour mechanics?He also shoots gasoline tanks in order to set fire to the hordes.

Dead Island 2 is an action-RPG that allows you to play six different characters in first person. And according to a designer who appeared onstage, the gory romp has an irreverent, pulpy tone and gameplay that’s all about “experimenting with your preferred zombie-slaying methods.”

Dead Island 2, a fighting game, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S (PS5 and Xbox One), PlayStation 4 and PC, February 3.
