Dead Island 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original Dead Island, which was released all the way back in 2011 during the Xbox 360 era of gaming. The game, which pits players against hordes of ravenous undead within the confines of a dilapidated and decaying rendition of Los Angeles, was initially announced back in 2014 as a same-generation follow-up to its predecessor. Unfortunately, Dead Island 2 has been trapped in "development hell" since its reveal.
Led by publisher Deep Silver, Dead Island 2 started development in the hands of Yager Development shortly after the release of the first game in the series. In 2015, the studio was replaced by Sumo Digital. After years of total silence from Deep Silver regarding the state of Dead Island 2 (with many excited fans assuming the game had quietly died), it was revealed that Dead Island 2 had shifted hands again. Since 2019, Deep Silver's internal studio, Dambuster Studios, has helmed development of this complicated action-packed title and, finally, brought the dream of Dead Island 2 to fruition.
When Dead Island 2 was re-revealed during Gamescom 2022, it also nabbed a release date — and it's sooner than you may think. Dead Island 2 officially arrives on Feb. 3, 2023, and it's coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC through the Epic Games Store, and Google Stadia. Dead Island 2 has not been confirmed for Xbox or PC Game Pass.
On Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Dead Island 2 will support the whole slate of current-gen gaming features, including up to 4K resolution and 60 FPS (or greater), full HDR support, spatial surround sound, Smart Delivery to ensure you're always playing the best version of the game, and more. The game will also feature Xbox Achievements, cloud saves, and up to 3-player online co-op.
If you're dying to see more of Dead Island 2, look no further than all the must-watch trailers for this upcoming zombie-slayer. Because of how gore-tastic Dead Island 2 is, many of its trailers may only be available to view on YouTube.
Dead Island 2 is now available for preorder in both digital and physical editions, and is clearly confident that it's delivering a "AAA" current-gen zombie-splattering experience with its hefty price tag.

Dead Island 2 takes place in Los Angeles, otherwise known as LA, the City of Angels, and Hell-A (during a zombie apocalypse, at least). Players will take control of one of six characters, each with a unique personality and dialogue. In the game, Los Angeles has been consumed by a deadly zombie virus that has infected the entire city, leaving millions as mindless husks hungry for human flesh. The American military has given up the city to the virus and quarantined the entire area, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
You and a handful of other survivors have shown surprising immunity to the virus, even after being bitten and infected. Hardly unaffected, though, the virus manifests in your body in mysterious, terrifying new ways that could be the key to surviving the fall of Los Angeles and finding a cure for the zombifying disease. Players will need to explore the city and learn to harness the zombie virus inside them while surviving against hordes of vicious undead.
Dead Island 2 is classified as an action-RPG. Players will have plenty of options to personalize their playstyle and choose how they tackle the challenges of this devastated world, but ultimately Dead Island 2 is a never-ending stream of chaos, dismemberment, and ridiculous bloody action.
The abilities of each character can be fully customized, with a new skills system letting players quickly tweak and even completely alter their builds on the fly. A huge arsenal of melee and ranged weapons are available to discover and turn against the armies of zombies seeking your brains, with many possessing unique attributes and abilities to help you gain an edge. In addition to player skills, it also seems that weapons can be equipped with powerful perks to further upgrade their capabilities.
Dead Island 2 is a gore-tastic sandbox that lets you rip and tear, burn and shock, and hack and slash through an endless stream of zombies in first-person, complete with full dismemberment. When it comes to your undead foes, there are dozens of distinct variants, each possessing different characteristics, mutations, and attacks. Zombies in Dead Island 2 also pull from the diverse cultures of Los Angeles to provide hundreds of visual styles among the zombies, ensuring no two fights look the same.
Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios want every encounter with Dead Island 2's zombies to present new threats to players, with plenty of tactics available to overcome those challenges. You also don't have to do it alone, as Dead Island 2 will include online co-op multiplayer for up to three players. Invite some of your friends and explore Los Angeles together, combining abilities and strategies to best even the most difficult obstacles in your path.
