During the recent Dead Island 2 showcase, Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studio released more trailers, gameplay, a live-action short, and more information for the upcoming zombie action game Dead Island 2. Additionally, the publisher also announced the “Alexa Game Control ” feature which lets players quickly perform in-game actions with their voice and the “HELL-A Edition” and pre-order bonuses for the game. Dead Island 2 is set to launch on April 28, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store.
The full details via the publisher can be seen below:
Today’s showcase featured a live-action pulp-adventure starring three fictional characters set in a similar universe to Dead Island 2. With the military long gone, we follow the fearless survivors as they search for a safe haven from the virus outbreak and zombie hordes. As they roam the supposedly abandoned mansion of a local video game and movie producer in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, they’ll soon discover that nowhere is safe.
Welcome to HELL-A
The new Dead Island 2 Welcome to HELL-A Trailer also premiered—narrated by Jacob and Amy, two of the game’s slayers, as they visit HELL-A. Witness Dead Island 2‘s unique gore tech, upgradable weapon and combat system, and, of course, its gruesome zombies. Join the slayers as they take you on a tour around the stylish, sunbaked zombie-smashing playground of HELL-A.
