Dambuster and Deep Silver are seemingly up for matching Techland’s Dead Island 2 in terms of updates. With the latter getting a new bundle, the former has made the jump to Xbox Game Pass, allowing those who aren’t quite sure if they’d like to plunk down their money for Dead Island 2 (though it’s definitely worth it) a chance to check out the game.
If for some reason you’ve never gotten around to playing Dead Island 2, the story goes that HELL-A is in quarantine thanks to a deadly virus. You are put into the shoes of one of six survivors immune to the virus. Known as Slayers, you (and if you choose, up to three players in co-op mode) must embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into.
And armed with a wide range of weapons, mods and skills to craft and equip, players can personalise your Slayer in the style you see fit. And thanks to Dambuster’s F.L.E.S.H. (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) system – which makes dismemberment gloriously gory – killing zombies has never been so spectacular.
Dead Island 2 is currently available on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The Steam version of Dead Island 2 arrives April 22.
