"DEAD ISLAND 2" Launch Trailer Brings Buckets Of Blood And Gore-A-Plenty!

It has taken eight long years since Dead Island 2 was first announced and now the game is about to launch to the masses. Deep Silver has done the customary and released the launch trailer for the open world zombie epic, which is set to arrive this Friday for PC and consoles.

This trailer is meant to “hold you over for a few more days”, and clips the opening sequence for the game we shared with you last week with some all new clips. Get ready for plenty of gore, blood, and one liners a plenty!

The long-awaited next entry in the Dead Island franchise, Dead Island 2 places players in the shoes of one of six survivors – Amy, Bruno, Dani, Ryan, Carla, and Jacob. After finding out that you’re immune to the zombie virus (the hard way), humanity’s future is in your hands. Aided by newfound friends, including the original Dead Island’s Sam B., players must escape from HELL-A before the rest of the world succumbs to the undead plague.

Standing in your way are the undead hordes of Angelinos, as varied as they once were in life. Slaughter reanimated muscle-beach hunks, fashionable celebrities, and beach bums alike in gruesome style with a variety of weapons. Whether you’re slashing them up with knives, chopping them with an electrified axe, or turning them into swiss cheese with an assault rifle, Dead Island 2’s blood-drenched action is a gory spectacle to behold.

Dead Island 2 will release on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on April 21.
