Last month, Dead Island 2 received agameplay showcase, highlighting more of what we already knew. This is an LA based open-world with hordes of undead, lots of hackin’ n’ slashin', and characters that are concerned with getting high during the apocalypse. You need to numb the pain somehow, I guess. The rest of the showcase was mostly a bad live-action film.
Ed playedthe undead extravaganza last August and was “surprised that it’s not at all janky given its development history." He continued to say, “I’m fairly convinced that it’ll be a fairly fun ride.” I’m fairly interested in smashing zombie brains, so this might be a fairly good podcast game.
Barring any last-minute delays, Dead Island 2 is scheduled to release on April 21st for consoles and PC exclusively throughThe Epic Games Store.
