Deep Silver has revealed a lengthy look at the gameplay for Dead Island 2, showcasing new zombies, weapons, powers, and plenty of gore.
Just a couple months to go before the arrival of Dead Island 2 (at last), and today brings fans/gamers an extensive look at the gameplay they’ll be treated to.
Armed with an array of weapons, each with their own unique, brutal fighting style and endless opportunities for upgrades, watch as slayer Dani meets Standard zombies (Walkers, Shamblers, Runners), Variant zombies (grenadier walkers), and Apex zombies (hyper mutated zombies), each one with its own horrifying powers and behaviors.
Starring in the video is the slayer Dani, who hails from the mosh pits of County Cork, Ireland. Dani’s unique slayer build – tenacious yet balanced – is well-suited to an agile style of combat. Her mission in this trailer? To try and reach the Halperin Hotel.
Players will also see how tapping into Curveballs and combining a powerful set of Skill Cards – which enhance abilities and create unique player builds – assist Dani as she hacks and slashes her way through the beginning areas of HELL-A.
Dambuster Studios’ dismemberment tech – known as FLESH (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) – means that crushing bones, slicing zombies, and melting flesh has never felt nor looked so satisfying.
As an infected yet somehow immune slayer, players will finally witness what happens when your chosen slayer activates their corrupted DNA and triggers Fury Mode.
The highly covetable Dead Island 2 HELL-A Edition is full of unique items to further the immersion of every fan.
The HELL-A Edition includes:
Exclusive SteelBook® with game disc
Expansion Pass
Venice Beach Travel Map
Six Slayer Tarot Cards
Two Pin Badges
One Patch
Golden Weapons Pack
Pulp Weapons Pack
Character Packs 1 & 2
Dead Island 2 arrives for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Consoles, and PCs (via Epic Game Store) on April 21, 2023.
