Dead Island 2 is a first-person action-RPG set in a glorious sun and blood-drenched setting – a hellish, yet stylish and vibrant, gore-ridden version of Los Angeles, nicknamed HELL-A. The series’ unique formula, dark humor, and over the top zombie-slaying returns, with all the swagger and charisma you’d expect from the Dead Island series.

A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is under quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the tainted zombie powers running through your veins. Only you, and the handful of other swaggering assholes who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, hold the future of Los Angeles (and humanity), in the balance. You were born for this.

As you uncover the truth behind the outbreak you’ll also discover just who – or what – you are. Survive, evolve, save the world – just another day in HELL-A.

Dead Island 2 unleashes a massive free update on 22 October, bringing a wave of thrilling new content and features designed to elevate player´s zombie-slaying experience.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of New Game Plus and their wishes have been answered. Players can now dive back into the heart of HELL-A, armed with their favorite characters, weapons and a whole new set of challenges.

With increased difficulty, new enemies and additional skill slots, the fight against the undead will be more intense than ever before.

Patch 6 new content doesn’t end here. Introducing Neighborhood Watch, a brand new cooperative horde mode that pits players against relentless zombie swarms. As members of the Bobcats, a fresh trio of College survivors, players must defend their frat house In Venice from relentless waves of zombies.

With each successful playthrough, players will face new challenges and unlock different abilities, original weapons and thematic skins, for a unique and exciting experience.
