The upcoming open-world zombie survival game from Deep Silver Dambuster Studios is infamous for being stuck in development hell. However, the latest footage that premiered at Gamescom 2022 is looking quite promising.

Dead Island 2 is a brand new playground of carnage against the undead Shinobi602@shinobi602Dead Island 2 re-revealed, coming on February 3, 2023.#gamescom21728Dead Island 2 re-revealed, coming on February 3, 2023.#gamescom https://t.co/7Kr19TZ3Mo Taking place in Los Angeles, Dead Island 2's world has been overrun by a deadly zombie outbreak. The last remaining survivors must fend off the hordes of mutants surrounding them — pretty much a standard Dead Island affair. This time, however, there are new characters to play as. In fact, there are six of them. They are also immune to the effects of the pathogen, which, instead of turning them, grants them superhuman powers. This manifests in the form of a powerful "Rage Mode," increasing player damage to zombie. Dead Island 2 is still very much a first-person action RPG with a focus on melee kills (while there are guns, they are a secondary focus). Players will acquire loot as they progress and upgrade their chosen character via card-based skills. On that note, Dambuster Studios has ensured that the combat is free-flowing and allows players to chain in many different attacks. Players can go from melee slashes to chucking a Molotov cocktail at an oncoming group of undead. Elements like fire and shock still play a crucial role in combat and can affect the environment, too (water being electrified). When will the game be released and for which platforms Horror Games Community@horrorvisualsDead Island 223421Dead Island 2 https://t.co/WljBm5cGPq Dead Island 2 is scheduled for February 3, 2023. This marks around eight years since fans last saw a rendition of the game under Jaeger Development of Spec Ops: The Line fame. The game will arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series XS, and PC. One disappointing news for many PC players will be that the game is an Epic Games Store exclusive. As such, it won't be making its way to Steam, not yet at least. Other recent examples of EGS exclusivity include the recently released Saints Row reboot. Are you looking forward to a new generation of zombie-slaying? Which system will you play Dead Island 2 on?
