Dead Island 2 Gameplay Showcase Features Zombie Kills, Weapons Galore, and Alexa Integration
Dead Island 2's gameplay showcase has arrived and it gave fans a gory, brutal, and fun look at the upcoming zombie apocalypse game that is set to be released on April 28, 2023.
The showcase featured gameplay and details delivered via a live-action "pulp adventure" that starred three characters also living in a zombie apocalypse. They happen upon a mansion in Los Angeles that happens to have Dead Island 2, and that's how we learn more about the game.
The bloody star of the show was the 'Welcome to HELL-A' gameplay trailer that gave us our best look yet at Dead Island 2 in action. On display were the game's brutal combat system that see zombie limbs flying every which way, the wide array of weapons and ways to customize them to a devastating and awesome effect, and the cast of zombies that come in all shapes and sizes.
The zombies themselves were the star of the show and the trailer showcased the variety of enemy types players will face off against in Dead Island 2. There was everything from massive zombies to smart zombies to noisy zombies to ones that literally look like walking skeletons. The last one really emphasized that zombies in this world have different levels of decay.
Dead Island 2's combat system features katanas, machetes, swords, hammers, guns, and more, and the battle with the undead is cranked up to 11 with the 'Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids (F.L.E.S.H.)' that lets you kill zombies in countless, horrific ways.
