Hot off of Dead Island 2‘s recent revival, publisher Deep Silver has given us the most in-depth look into this zombie-squashing simulator yet.
On Tuesday, an all-new gameplay showcase for Dead Island 2 came out. It primarily focuses on the sights and sounds of LA – or rather, a pulpy version of the city affectionately referred to as ‘HelL-A’ overflowing with undead hordes. Loads of brutal, first-person combat is shown off here, along with some cheeky jokes that mostly land.
Check out the Dead Island 2 showcase for yourself below. It’s certainly not lacking in the gore department – especially any snippet with the bear claws.
Dead Island 2‘s initial reveal came way back at PlayStation’s E3 2014 press conference before the game vanished for years. GLHF went hands-on with a build at Gamescom 2022, and much to our surprise, it was pretty great.
Unfortunately, Dead Island 2 was recently delayed to next spring. It’s only a short 12-week push, though – not a big deal for something that was originally supposed to come our years ago.
We’ll find out if Dead Island 2 lives up to the hype when it launches on April 28, 2023, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
