Dead Island 2 Trailer Features New Gameplay & Zombie Mode

Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios just launched a new Dead Island 2 showcase.

In the new trailer, we get to see new gameplay full of parkour, exploring, vistas of “Hell-A” California, and a ton of zombies and melee kills, naturally. This is a zombie apocalypse, after all.

You’ll get access to a ton of weaponry like bear claws, hammers, and guns. Taking a page from Dead Rising, you can even craft your own DIY weapons of mayhem. You can even temporarily use “Z-Power” to become a powered-up zombie, where you’re faster and a tad more powerful. Yeah, this is all starting to look like Dying Light but with bit more dark humour.

Plus, you get to control the game using Alexa Game Control; this feature is only available on Xbox and PC in English for the US, Canada, and United Kingdom markets.

You can get a special Hell-A edition of the game which comes with the following:

• Exclusive SteelBook with game disc
• Expansion Pass
• Venice Beach Travel Map
• 6 x Slayer Tarot Cards
• 2 x Pin Badges
• 1 x Patch
• Golden Weapons Pack
• Pulp Weapons Pack
• Character Packs 1 & 2

If you pre-order the game, you’ll receive a Memories of Banoi Pack, which features two unique weapons that celebrate the original Dead Island game and a special skill card. Dead Island 2 will be out on 28 April for Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC (Epic Games Store).
