Is Sam B in Dead Island 2? Easter eggs and callbacks explained
After years of waiting, Dead Island 2 is finally here and fans of the original games can expect to see callbacks to the originals during their zombie-slaying runs through HELL-A.
Many of you have been wondering if we’ll see returning characters from the original games involved, including fan-favourite rapper Sam B (presumably named to sound a bit but not entirely like zombie).

Yes! Sam B is in Dead Island 2. The classic fan-favourite rapper from the original Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide is back all these years later.
