Dead Island 2 Xbox achievements revealed

sportskeeda.com:

Since the release of its iconic trailer several years ago, the upcoming open-world action RPG Dead Island 2 has been in the works for quite some time now. With Dambuster Studios helming the underrated zombie IP, fans can expect to get their hands on it quite soon. Interestingly, publisher Deep Silver has revealed a major chunk of the achievements for the game.

Unearthed by TrueAchievements, these are unlocked upon completing in-game objectives or performing specific actions. Furthermore, they are only for the Xbox platform. Thankfully, all of these are non-critical side-content achievements. To avoid any spoilers, the main story achievements continue to stay under wraps and it's likely that they won't be touched upon until the official release date.

All of the game's achievements can be divided into the following categories for the sake of clarity:

Side missions

Collectibles and challenges

Combat

Co-op

Clearly, none of these reveal anything particularly noteworthy about the action RPG as they're unrelated to the main storyline. However, it's still good to see that the familiar Dead Island design is accounted for. This ranges from open-world collectibles and fluid, reflex-driven combat to rarity-tiered loot and elemental upgrades for the different weapons that players can craft.

Looking at the achievements, it seems like Dead Island 2 is set to feature a sizable amount of additional content, as it features 40 side missions. Additionally, co-op is accounted for as well, as was the case with older entries. It should be noted that while these achievements have been unveiled for Xbox, they will most likely be applicable for other platforms through their respective achievement systems as well. This includes PlayStation
