Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios announced that Dead Island 2, the multimillion-copy-selling first-person action RPG is getting a major free update on October 22, 2024. This update will bring a wave of thrilling new content and features designed to elevate the player’s zombie-slaying experience.

New Game Plus will be coming to Dead Island 2 and players will now be able to dive back into the heart of HELL-A, armed with their favorite characters, weapons, and new challenges.

There will also be increased difficulty options, new enemies, and additional skill slots making the fight against the undead more chaotic than ever before.

Neighborhood Watch is a brand new cooperative horde mode that pits players against relentless zombie swarms. As members of the Bobcats, a fresh trio of College survivors, players must defend their frat house In Venice from relentless waves of zombies.

In the most recent SoLA DLC for Dead Island 2, we scored it a 7.5 out of 10 in our review.  “If you loved the base game to just let loose and bash in some zombie skulls, then this is just more of it, for better or for worse. It’s just good old dumb fun at the end of the day.”
