A long-in-development zombie game is back in action, and arriving early next year.\u00a0Dead Island 2\u00a0<\/em>will launch on February 3, 2023.<\/p> During today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022, Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios revealed a cinematic trailer<\/a> for\u00a0Dead Island 2<\/em>. It features plenty of zombie-slaying action, and one of the game’s playable characters, Jacob.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> We also got a look at some gameplay for\u00a0Dead Island 2<\/em><\/a>, which features a ton of the bloody first-person action seen in the first\u00a0Dead Island<\/em>.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> Players will be able to play as one of six different characters including Jacob. Each one has their own style and skills, and you can instantly re-spec if you don’t like the build you’re putting together.<\/p> The story takes place in Los Angeles, with locations around the city including Beverly Hills and Venice Beach.<\/p> You can play the adventure by yourself, or opt to do some co-op. Up to three players can party up and blast through hordes of zombies together.<\/p> <\/p> Dead Island 2\u00a0<\/em>has been kicking around in some form or another for quite a while<\/a>. We got some indication<\/a> earlier this year that a\u00a0Dead Island 2\u00a0<\/em>launch could be set for 2023, and it looks like that’s panned out.<\/p> While the news did leak<\/a> a little bit ahead of schedule, it looks like the zombie-crushing, weapon-crafting action of\u00a0Dead Island\u00a0<\/em>is due back soon. The original<\/a> was a goofy, decent enough zombie-smasher with some light RPG elements and good co-op fun. While the successor to the series has been mired in development for quite a few years, we’ll at least finally get a chance to see what a new\u00a0Dead Island\u00a0<\/em>looks like soon.<\/p> Dead Island 2\u00a0<\/em>will launch for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Stadia on February 3, 2023.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":341308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[19499,8277,604,19112,19114,19116,19115,116],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric Van Allen","user_login":"EricVanAllen","user_nicename":"ericvanallen"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRise from the grave<\/h2>
