Dead Island 2 Story Expansion Pits Players Against A Malibu Cult Next Month

Dead Island 2’s first expansion, Haus, is now available. The adventure whisks players to new locations to take on a mysterious cult while surviving that pesky zombie apocalypse. 

This storyline focuses on techno-death battles, which are led by the maniacal leader Konstantin. He believes that these fights represent the “paragons for the future.” In a Malibu Villa, the adventure takes place. The press release describes it as “a deranged labyrinth where rational architecture has been subverted by expanded narrative spaces”.

Your guess is as good as ours as to what that means, but Haus features eight new cards and new weapons, such as the long-ranged K-Rossbow and the flame-spewing Hog Roaster. Dambuster Studios, the developer of Haus hasn’t released any trailers but they have provided a few screenshots.

Dead Island Haus is launching on November 2nd. You can read our review of the base game here, and be sure to check out our deep-dive feature on the development of Yager Interactive’s scrapped version of Dead Island 2.
