After years of tumultuous development and multiple developers, Dead Island 2 needs to find some new ways of generating hype for its release.

Deep Silver's Dead Island series has held an interesting space in gaming culture.

It comes out on February 3, 2023, almost exactly a year after 2022's big gruesome zombie RPG. Are you ready?

The beleaguered zombie RPG showcased a fancy new CGI trailer and a sizzle reel of characters smashing zombies like Gallagher going to town on a pallet of rotting watermelons.

Dead Island 2's latest trailer showed off Jacob, one of six playable zombie-slayers.

IDead Island 2 also sports a co-op campaign, bigger map, and more complex dismemberment system than its predecessors.

I have no idea whether Dead Island 2 will be any good, and at this point that almost feels beside the point.
