After a chaotic journey, Dead Island 2 showed up at Gamescom 2022 with an enticing trailer. As a bonus, an official release date. Soon the end of the tunnel…
Dead Island 2 was announced in June 2014 during the PlayStation E3 conference and has still not been released. But after years of wandering, it will soon be in your hands.
A release date for Dead Island 2, and it’s no joke
Dead Island 2 will finally be released on February 3rd, 2023 on PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series X|S. The announcement came during the Gamescom 2022 conference with a reassuring trailer on the title’s potential. And it wasn’t won with such a long development period, although its creation is complicated since the game passed through the hands of three studios.
This second work is not set on a paradise island, but in an environment that still invites you to dream: Los Angeles. We will not limit ourselves to the city center of the City of Angels, since we will have the opportunity to visit Santa Monica and its pier, Beverly Hills or Venice Beach. Iconic places popular with all tourists and locals.
You play as up to six different characters, each with the ability to dissect zombies with style. The one in the video is Jacob. As hinted at in our hot preview, Dambuster Studios’ software shows promise at the moment and we find Dead Island’s charm.
