Zombies. They’re everywhere, or at least, they likely will be in the future because that’s where our lives are headed more than likely. Video games have played this up in various ways, and a set of games in 2023 will help showcase that.
#3 Dying Light 2 DLC
- Developer: Techland
- Publisher: Techland
- Platforms: PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
- Release date: November 9, 2022
With a game as big as Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you knew that story DLC was going to come for the title. If for no other reason than it happened a lot with the original title.
Anyway, we do have information on that Dying Light 2 DLC, the first story DLC is going to be called Bloody Ties, and it’ll have a unique cast of characters.
You’ll play as Aiden, someone who wants everything that life can offer in this messed up world and isn’t afraid to get dirty to do it. He enters a bloodsport tournament where you must fight to the death, but soon realizes that there is more going on here and that the dangers all around him might be too much to handle.
#2 Night of the Dead
- Release date: August 28, 2020 Early Access, Full Launch TBA
- Developer: Jacktostudios
- Platform: Microsoft Windows
- Publisher: Jacktostudios
In Night of the Dead, you play as a woman named Lucy. She’s awoken from an experiment that has left her trapped in an area full of zombies that attack her every night.
Now, you must help her survive, as well as communicate with a fellow group of survivors in order to get out of the area itself without succumbing to the zombie threat.
Build up bases, farm to get food so you can stay strong and make it to the next day. Look around the island for clues about what happened to the people and most importantly, find a way off the island!
#1 Dead Island 2
- Release date: April 21, 2023
- Developer: Dambuster Studios
- Platform: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
- Publisher: Deep Silver
Dead Island 2 was a game that most of us thought would stay in development hell. It took years to get the sequel for Dead Island finally, and multiple development studios were involved at some point. But fortunately, Dambuster Studios was able to bring this game out into the marketplace, and we’re able to rip through countless undead zombies. For those who might be unaware, Dead Island 2 takes place a few years after the original game’s events.
Much like the first installment, players are presented with the opportunity to pick from various protagonists, each with unique attributes. From there, you’re dropped into the now-quarantined California state. A new zombie plague has struck, leaving the citizens to reach an extraction point within Los Angeles. You soon find yourself immune from the zombies; your blood could be the key to finding a cure. Now you’ll need to melee your way through countless different zombies in hopes of getting rescued.
If you enjoy bashing through the undead, it’s worth pointing out the FLESH system Dambuster Studios implemented in this game. Here you’ll get a system that can replicate various blows showing off damage to the skin, muscle, and bone. Here’s hoping you’re not afraid of a little blood; by little, we mean a lot!
