video games and zombies, what a great combination! Good enough for 2023 to continue betting heavily on the most visceral post-apocalyptic survival. Dead Island 2 it returns to the thematic clichés, it would be missing, but at this stage of the game the difficult thing is to stand out from the rest. The good news is that at Dambuster Studios it seems they know how: those from Nottingham are more than willing to unleash chaos and destruction on another scale and even Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant, joins the party.
On the occasion of Dead Island 2 Showcase, Deep Silver has offered a vast amount of gameplay news. Of course, far from offering a boring presentation seasoned with interviews and canned applause, he has scored somewhat by betting on offering a short film inspired by the zombie series that has served to spin the news. What news are we talking about?
input, Dead Island 2 has left us with a new helping of gameplay which, in turn, serves as a tour of the game’s setting: the city of Los Angeles is turned upside down and packed with zombies, but the good news is that we can do almost, almost whatever we want in it. Combining the most entertaining of the Californian city with the most entertaining of a post apocalypse.
From picturesque neighbors who have not yet been transformed into corpses to a whole colorful arsenal made up of edged weapons and firearms with which to dispatch zombies and water the ground with their bits and gores. Of course, in Dead Island 2 We will never be alone, even if there is no one in sight: Alexa will be there to help us in our crazy quest.
Amazon’s voice assistant will be one more tool in Dead Island 2, so that in the PC and Xbox versions it will be possible to use voice commands to change weapons, set reference points on the map and even make zombies pay attention to us. A little genius. However, at the moment this functionality has only been announced in the United States and Canada.
The third main novelty announced during the Dead Island 2 Showcase it has to do with the editions of the game itself. Deep Silver has presented the different purchase options and reserve incentives.
- To begin with, the standard editions of Dead Island 2 They include the DLC Memories of Banoi Pack, which adds a lot of weapons, and enhancers that will come in handy in the game.
- The HELL-A Edition add the required steelbook, as well as the map of Venice Beach and items such as pins, patches, taror cards, digital content and, most interesting: the Expansion Pass.
Finally, it has been presented a limited run resin figure of Amyone of the survivors of the game, hand-painted, approximately 22 cm and priced at 199.99 euros with taxes included.
In all of the above cases, the date is the same: Dead Island 2 will be available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC next April 28, 2023. At this point in the game, it goes without saying that the announced version of Stadia has been cancelled. Being, paradoxically, the first victim in this apocalypse. Who was going to say it?
