Dead Island 2 Trailer
The three-minute trailer showcases some of the new and gory graphics available in the title. Set to Hollywood Swinging by Kool & The Gang, the preview mainly showcases the adventures of Jacob, a new & unique character in Dead Island 2.
It ends with Jacob equipping a samurai sword — a melee weapon we hope makes it to the game’s final cut.
This time, players will be thrust into a quarantined Los Angeles where you and a handful of other survivors are resistant to the deadly pathogen turning the populace into mindless undead hordes. With even more ways to dismember, explode, and generally devastate zombies and all-new UHD graphics, the game is bound to be popular among horror fans and gorehounds alike.
Gamers can pre-order the game on the official Dead Island 2 website.
