Publisher Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studio have released a new set of trailers and screenshots for Dead Island 2, including new information, a live-action short film, and an expanded look at the game.
Get the details below.
Today’s showcase featured a live-action adventure starring three fictional characters set in a universe similar to Dead Island 2. With the army gone, we follow the brave survivors as they seek safe haven from the outbreak of the virus and hordes of zombies. As they wander the supposedly abandoned mansion of a local video game and film producer in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, they soon discover that nowhere is safe.
Welcome to HELL-A
The new Dead Island 2 Welcome to HELL-A trailer was also released, narrated by Jacob and Amy, two of the game’s assassins, as they visit HELL-A. Witness Dead Island 2’s unique gore technology, upgradeable weapons and combat system, and of course, its gruesome zombies. Join the killers as they take you on a tour of HELL-A’s stylish zombie playground.
Alexa game control
Another surprise at the showcase was a look at Alexa’s game control feature, which allows players to quickly perform in-game actions with their voice. This feature will launch in Dead Island 2 for Xbox and PC, for English in the US, Canada, and the UK.
