Dead Island 2 is waanzinnig gewelddadig in de nieuwcinematic en gameplay trailer

Na acht jaar en meerdere ontwikkelstudio’s, komt Dead Island dan toch echt uit.

Tijdens de Gamescom Opening Night Live Show, heeft Deep Silver de langverwachte zombiegame opnieuw onthuld met de onderstaande cinematic en gameplay trailer.

Dead Island 2 is waanzinnig gewelddadig en bloederig. Combat is voornamelijk van dichtbij waardoor je letterlijk met alles zombies een kopje kleiner kan maken. Guns zijn er ook, maar de focus van Dead Island 2 is close en personal met zombies. Er zijn zes verschillende speelbare personages met unieke skills en persoonlijkheden. De game is solo te spelen, maar ook in co-op met vrienden.

Dit zijn de key features van Dead Island 2 volgens Deep Silver:

• Explore HELL-A – Dead Island 2 takes players across the most iconic locations of the City of Angels, now stained with horror, in an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach.
• Brutal Melee Sandbox – Combat delivers the most intense, visceral and gory first person experience possible, with plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to chew your way through the zombie horde. Whether you’re slicing, smashing, burning or ripping, we want you to truly feel it.
• Be the Ultimate Zombie Slayer – There are six characters to choose from, each with their own unique personality and dialogues. You can fully customize the abilities of each Slayer, with our brand-new skill system allowing you to re-spec instantly and try out the craziest builds.
• Zombie Infestation – Ready to experience the most advanced dismemberment system in games? Our Los Angeles is crawling with zombies that look and react realistically. These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks and hundreds of visual Los Angeles-themed variants. Our monsters are relentless, challenging, and true Los Angelinos. Will you be able to survive?
• A Cinematic Co-op Adventure – As a proper RPG experience, Dead Island 2 offers plenty of exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story, to truly immerse you in its twisted universe. Re-playability is guaranteed. Add an over-the-top co-op mode for up to three players, and you’ll stay in Los Angeles for a very long (and gory) trip.

Dead Island 3 is vanaf 3 februari 2023 verkrijgbaar voor de PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S en de Xbox One.
