Dead Island 2
What do you do when you sold your game as really serious and emotionally harrowing but it’s actually more of a ”have a good ol’ time smashing zombies and getting loot with your buddies!” kinda game? Make the sequel completely bonkers, of course!
Dead Island 2 moves the action from the South-Asian island of Banoi to California and takes place several months after the events of the first game. Up until now the series has had four player co-op, and Dead Island 2 will increase the number to a total of a whopping eight players! Players will be able to join other player’s games in a Journey-esque manner where if you’re connected to the internet (and haven’t opted out) other people will be able to randomly go into your world.
With new environments, expanded multiplayer, crazy weapons like freezerays and electric shotguns and some really brutal combat it’s looking like Dead Island 2 will be a whole lot of fun when it comes out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in Spring 2015.
