Dead Island 2
The Dead Island franchise has always been known for its open-world gameplay, and the sequel promises to be no different. The game is set in California, where players will have to survive in a world overrun by the undead. The game’s story follows a group of survivors as they attempt to find a cure for the virus responsible for the outbreak while battling hordes of zombies along the way.
Gameplay
Crafting was a significant part of the original game, and players can expect even more unique and creative weapons to carve through hordes of undead in the sequel. The Rage Mode system, which rewards players with a boost in power for racking up kills, is also set to make a return.
Expansion Pass
The Expansion Pass, available as a pre-order bonus with the Gold edition and Hell-A edition of Dead Island 2, as well as a standalone purchase, promises to expand on the game’s content. Expansion Pass details are still scarce, but it is sure to bring new gameplay mechanics and features to the game.
