![]() Second, visceral combat- our main gameplay pillar. We take players on a rollercoaster ride through many of the picture postcard LA locations, from the beaches of Venice and Santa Monica through to the luxurious mansions of Bel Air and beyond. To escape Hell-A you must embrace the slayer inside of you and, perhaps, the zombie inside of you too!įirstly, Dead Island is known for its fantastic Paradise Gone to Hell setting, and our zompocalypse takes place in none other than the City of Angels. You are infected but immune and experiencing powerful changes to your body. ![]() In our story Los Angeles has been overrun, the evacuation effort has failed, the military has retreated and LA is in total quarantine. We’ve put a lot of effort into building our game world, the narrative and most of all, our tactical and very, very gory first person melee combat. We didn’t want our heroes to be mere survivors – we wanted them to be thrivers, running headlong into the fray with a predator’s grin and the odd wink to the camera. So, what have we been up to? In 2018 Deep Silver Dambuster Studios started development on Dead Island 2, focusing on a pulp horror zombie experience – in your face close, visceral, and personal. We’re really proud to finally show off all our hard work!ĭead Island 2 is a thrilling first person, action RPG, set in a zombie-infested Los Angeles that we like to call, HELL-A! In this way, players are going to experiment themselves on what they can do with their good weapons.Yes, that’s right, Dead Island 2 is OFFICIALLY a thing! So why have we been so quiet? We wanted our global announcement to go hand-in-hand with an awesome demo and we’re delighted that press around the world are getting their hands on the beta build of the game at Gamescom. There will be workbench where players can opt to repair or level match their weapons instead of disposing of them. In particular, this durability element works hand in hand with weapon crafting. Instead, Dambusters intends to encourage their players to try new things instead of sticking to a single weapon they stick to for the whole game. In an interview, they explained that the weapons aren’t going to be so prone to breaking that you will feel like you are in a survival horror game. On Dambusters’ end, they have introduced a weapon durability element to Dead Island 2. Hopefully, that does mean the game will be launching without the issues that seem to haunt the industry lately, including the surprisingly poor reception to The Last of Us Part 1 PC. While this game is still firmly in the middle of the transition between console generations, Dambusters clearly did their work to upgrade the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to the standard gamers expect.Īs we had reported, Dambusters revealed that Dead Island 2 went gold faster than expected, and so they had set the release date for later this month, in fact two weeks from now. It may also be reasonable to believe that there will be a similar size disparity in the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions of Dead Island 2. ![]() If developer Dambusters did their job as well, the PlayStation 5 version will be loading considerably faster. Gamers can expect a considerably different experience as well, as PlayStation 4 will likely not have graphics as good as on the PlayStation 5.
