Dead Island 2 * Reaches 20m Players

* forgot to add the 2 in the title.

It's been 14 years since Dead Island first splattered onto the scene, stranding players in the blood-soaked paradise of Banoi.

Since then, the zompocalypse has crawled from tropical shores to the sun-drenched chaos of HELL-A in Dead Island 2, where over 20 million Slayers have left nothing but carnage behind.

This isn't the final cut though. Dambuster Studios are already carving out what comes next.
For now, the details stay under wraps, the outbreak is far from over...

Dead Island 2 - Celebrating 14 years of gore and guts PLUS 20 million Slayers in Dead Island 2 - Steam News

From Banoi to HELL-A...and the next outbreak is already brewing.

Played this a launch and thought after the hell it went through it was really good.

Awesome game! More from that

Is it still Borderlands with zombies?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Being on both Game Pass and PS+ will do that. Smart dev to put it on both subscriptions.

Dead Island 2 was fantastic.

Much better than Dying Light 2, if we're comparing games with open worlds and zombies as the focal point.

good shit! I loved DI2! I finished it on Epic , Ill probably buy it on Steam

 

[Gonzito]

Good, hopefully they make the game with bigger maps, they felt a little bit too small for my taste and I really hope that the story this time is a bit more interesting

Kinda mid. Good if you want to beat up zombies.

 

[coffinbirth]

Was so disappointed in this game. A step down from the first game in nearly every way.

 

[Mr Moose]

Was this free on Epic or was it something else? I remember adding a zombie game to my list and playing it for a bit.
Edit: Just checked, it was this.

This.
Bought it 4 months ago on PS, reached the sewers, dropped it...

The only positive about the game are the GFX which are pretty good (albeit very static) but other than that ? It's the definition of mediocre, it's the same shit you've seen 1000 times before since the PS360 era, it's boring, soulless and it's got no real reason of existing besides catering to people that get a hard on from super realistic gore, it's - literally - a disgusting game.

Why wouldn't they give a sales number?

As far as open world zombie games go, my favorite is still 7 Days to Die.

But DI2 was still pretty good from what Ive played.

I played it at launch, and it didn't click for whatever reason. So, I revisited it later, and really enjoyed it. This is cool to see, good for them! Make the next game even better!

I'm glad it worked out for them because I for sure thought the game was vaporware. When it was actually coming out I thought it wasn't going to be good based on previous and similar experiences. Glad it did!

Oh wow. I really enjoyed DL2. Might have to try DI2 soon.
