Dead Island 2 failed to stand out as the original game did since there are now a good amount of zombie-themed titles that are more than capable of scratching this particular itch. It feels so late in the game that other games like it have evolved and experimented with different concepts while this series is still trying to get back on its feet. 

Dead Island 2 is definitely coming out, and if you’re excited to explore the zombie-infested Los Angeles on PC, here are the PC specs so you can prepare ahead of time as it’s just a week away from launch.

Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios revealed a 15-minute gameplay trailer of Dead Island 2 showcasing the game’s many ways to handle the zombie threat while giving us a good look at the game’s FLESH system, designed to elevate the visual damage one can do to any of the zombies found in the game. 

Developer Dambuster Studios and Publisher Deep Silver announced that Dead Island 2 will be releasing a week earlier as the new release date is now April 21, 2023, from April 28. Together with the date change, they announced that the game has finally gone gold.

The long-awaited open world zombie game Dead Island 2 has received another delay as it’s now set to launch on April 28, 2023. It was originally set to launch on February 3. A new gameplay trailer for the game is set to debut early December.

After eight years since Dead Island 2 was announced, it was reintroduced once again during Gamescom Opening Night 2022 and is releasing February 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC through the Epic Games Store.
