Watch Complete Opening Cinematic For DEAD ISLAND 2!

Ahead of next month’s launch Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have revealed DEAD ISLAND 2’s opening cinematic and it’s just as bloody and amazing as we could have hoped for.

Taking on a pulp tone and set to “Drown” by Karen O and Danger Mouse, the Dead Island 2 opening cinematic sees you discover a bloodstained Los Angeles now flooded with the undead.

“View a deserted, viscera-drenched Hollywood Boulevard and the empty mansions of the rich and famous in Bel Air. Visit what was once known as the City of Angels and see what gory details await you in sunny, zombie-infested HELL-A.”

The opening sequence was created by ELASTIC, the studio behind cinematics for games such as Gears 5 and Metro Exodus, as well as opening sequences for television shows like “Shadow and Bone” and “His Dark Materials“.

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