Read details on the game below:
Set in Los Angeles, or HELL-A as it’s known in Dead Island 2, players choose from one of six bombastic survivors turned slayers—Amy, Bruno, Dani, Ryan, Carla, and Jacob—each with their own personalities and unique range of abilities, the latter of which can be customized using the brand-new Skill Cards system.
With the once prosperous city of LA quarantined thanks to the deadly zombie virus, it’s down to the somehow immune slayer to embark on an epic, gore-filled journey. Meet a colorful cast of fellow survivors and explore LA’s iconic locations, such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica, to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and the horrifying transformation your slayers have undergone following a bite from a zombie.
Dead Island 2 makes zombie slaying feel more up-close and personal than ever thanks to Dambuster’s F.L.E.S.H. (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) system, which makes zombie dismemberment gloriously gory. To assist in this carnage is a veritable buffet of vicious weaponry, mods to spice up the slaying, and skills to craft and equip, letting players build their own unique, devastating arsenal.
There are dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks, and LA-themed variations. If players need a helping hand, they can bring friends into the fray with co-op mode (up to three players) and ensure a lengthy stay in HELL-A.
