Game Overview:
Dead Island 2 is an action RPG developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver.
It is the third major instalment in the Dead Island franchise.
The zombie-slaying first-person action RPG – available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC – crosses another major milestone.
Dambuster Studios' action RPG joins the likes of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Alan Wake 2, and more in supporting Sony's next console.
Available on consoles and PC, it includes the base game, two expansions, all Slayer packs, and a Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 weapons pack.
Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will also get access to a couple of survival horror classics in Dino Crisis and Siren.
It also includes the base game, Haus and SoLA expansions, six Slayer character packs, and four additional Weapons Packs.
Out on October 22nd, the new free mode sees players gathering supplies and building defenses to prepare for a massive zombie horde.
Developer Dambuster Studios will release a significant new update on October 22 that will be free for all Dead Island 2 players.
The action RPG also had over seven million players on Game Pass. Dambuster Studios has since confirmed further updates.
"We’ll share some exciting and long-awaited new game updates, so stay tuned for more Dead Island 2 content," said Dambuster.
After having spent a year exclusively on the Epic Games Store on PC, Dead Island 2 is now also available on Steam.
A new launch trailer showcases the new Apex Zombies, the Whipper and Clotter, and the powerful Ripper and Sawblade Launcher.
The action RPG's second paid DLC will bring new weapons, enemies, story content, and a new location.
