Dead Island 2 is a first-person action RPG set in a vibrant, sun-drenched, and blood-soaked version of Los Angeles — dubbed HELL-A. A deadly virus has spread across the city, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies, and the military has retreated. You are bitten, infected, but more than just immune: you can harness the tainted zombie powers running through your veins. As you uncover the truth behind the outbreak, you'll also discover who — or what — you really are.

Combat in Dead Island 2 is a brutal melee sandbox, delivering an intense, visceral, and gory first-person experience with plenty of weapons and tactical options to carve through the zombie horde. The game features an advanced dismemberment system, with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations and attacks, plus hundreds of LA-themed visual variants. Choose from six playable slayers, each with their own personality and dialogue, and customize their abilities through a flexible skill system that lets you respec instantly and experiment with wild builds.

The game offers a cinematic co-op adventure for up to three players, packed with exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story. Explore iconic, gore-drenched locations from the verdant suburbs of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach. Whether you're slicing, smashing, burning, or ripping your way through the undead, Dead Island 2 promises an over-the-top zombie-slaying experience with dark humor and relentless action.
