The first minutes of the game
Alongside these PC configurations, our colleagues at IGN released the first 11 minutes of Dead Island 2 without cuts. An intro that will take you to the bath of history, proving once again that the title is going to be extremely gory. A bias fully adopted by the teams who intentionally created a system of dismemberment for this sequel.
This second episode doesn’t take place on a desert island, at least in the true sense of the word, but in Los Angeles. The City of Angels, here renamed Hell-A. Why did you keep the name Iceland in this case? It’s figurative, as James Worrall, the game director of Dead Island 2, explained.
The story of Dead Island 2 takes place in a city that has been quarantined and isolated from the outside world as a result of the epidemic. When the government closed the city, it became figuratively an island. A secluded area that has its own personality.

Dead Island 2 will be playable solo or in co-op, but there’s some very bad news for trophy hunters. If you don’t find a playmate, it’s impossible to drop the platinum. In fact, at least two people need to be validated for two missions. Finally, Dambuster Studios states that the software is not cross-play compatible, forcing you to play with players on the same platform.
