Dead Island 2's Horde Mode, Neighbourhood Watch, Arrives in Time for Halloween | Push Square
Dead Island 2 fans decomposing for lack of content, rejoice! In Neighborhood Watch, a cooperative Horde Mode arriving on 22nd October via free update, players are cast in the role of the Bobcats, a group of college kids defending their frat house from the oncoming zombie onslaught.
Neighbourhood Watch sounds like it will mix things up, tasking players to survive as long as possible. Given five days to prepare, the first four will be spent completing objectives, stockpiling resources, and constructing defences. On the fifth day, all hell breaks loose, and if you fail, new abilities can be unlocked between attempts. Each Bobcat has a unique class, and teamwork will be essential in overcoming the odds. Oh, and there is no Fury Mode, so you'll need to look for other advantages wherever you can find them.

It’s something I guess so shouldn’t moan but having completed it recently I felt like it’s lacking a fair bit compared to the first one. Never really liked the card scheme and would’ve preferred a decent skill tree also, like the first. But will give this a go at some point.
Do we know if this is part of the Season Pass, @Khayl? Or is it free, or paid for
