Get ready, zombie slayers! April 22 marks a significant date for Dead Island 2 enthusiasts as the game gears up for its debut on one of PC’s premier digital platforms.
After a successful launch in 2023, Dead Island 2 is finally poised to hit Steam on April 22, exactly one year later. This exciting announcement follows hot on the heels of the revelation of key details about the game’s second story DLC, SoLA, a thrilling romp set in a southern LA music festival scheduled for release on April 17.
Dead Island 2 offers players the opportunity to craft an arsenal of diverse weapons imbued with elemental effects, ideal for dispatching swarms of zombies in heart-pounding first-person action. Set against the backdrop of iconic Los Angeles locales such as Bel-Air, Venice Beach, and Hollywood Boulevard, the game’s various environments provide the perfect setting for its visceral and entertaining zombie-slaying gameplay. With features like Numen skills, which temporarily transform players into powerful feral zombies, Dead Island 2 has garnered praise as one of the top zombie-slaying experiences in recent memory.
Steam gamers have been eagerly awaiting Dead Island 2 since its initial launch as an Epic Game Store exclusive on PC, enduring an extra year of anticipation. Now, their patience will be rewarded as the game finally arrives on Steam on April 22. Fans can already wishlist Dead Island 2 and select from three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Gold.
In addition to the base game, Steam users can also grab Dead Island 2’s first story DLC, Haus. Furthermore, the Expansion Pass offers savings on both Haus and the upcoming SoLA DLC, which is set to drop just a few weeks after the game’s Steam release. While it may be disappointing that the DLC arrives just days before the game hits Steam, players will likely need to dive into the main game before diving into the DLC anyway.
Having already achieved success on Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic platforms last year, Dead Island 2’s arrival on Steam is expected to attract a fresh wave of zombie enthusiasts to the streets of LA. So mark your calendars and prepare to join the ranks of the undead-slaying elite when Dead Island 2 lands on Steam this April 22.
