Dead Island 2 has experienced numerous years of delays since it was first revealed in 2014. Yager initially created the game before Dambuster Studios took charge in 2019.
Six playable characters will be available when Dead Island 2 launches, with the action taking place in a “hellish vision of LA.”
According to Deep Silver, “Dead Island 2 is sleek, colorful, and overrun with a zombie infestation.” “Discover famous, bloody Los Angeles. Meet characters who are larger than life. Countless enemies can be slain in stunningly bloody detail. And become the supreme Zombie Slayer!”
Alexa Game Control is one of the game’s distinctive features. Players can now set waypoints, swap weapons, taunt zombies, and more using only their voices. In addition to a three-player co-op option and its primary story, the game will also offer a “full RPG experience.”
For PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One users, Dead Island 2 will be available.
