About Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 revives the much-loved zombie saga with its signature mix of horror, dark humor, and over-the-top zombie-slaying, all wrapped in a sprawling pulp adventure. Framed as a thrilling first-person action RPG, it is stylish, vibrant, and awash with infection as you explore a gore-soaked version of Los Angeles, cross paths with larger-than-life characters, and cut down countless foes in gruesomely detailed fashion on your way to becoming the ultimate Zombie Slayer.

The city, nicknamed HELL-A, spans some of LA's most recognizable locations, now warped by horror, carrying you from the leafy suburbs of Beverly Hills to the eccentric boardwalk of Venice Beach. Its brutal melee sandbox is where the game shines, delivering intense, visceral, and bloody first-person combat backed by a wide selection of weapons and both tactical and savage options for tearing through the horde, whether you prefer to slice, smash, burn, or rip.

Six distinct characters are available, each with their own personality and dialogue, and a brand-new skill system lets you fully customize abilities and re-spec instantly to try wild builds. Backing it all is an advanced dismemberment system and reactive zombies. On PC it stands as a bloody, action-packed slice of the franchise.
