Get Ready for Mayhem in the Streets of HELL-A
Get ready to paint the sunny streets of Los Angeles crimson! The long-awaited sequel, Dead Island 2, has finally arrived and throws players headfirst into a gruesome and stylish zombie apocalypse. And here’s the best part for PC gamers — Dead Island 2 is FREE to download and keep on the Epic Games Store until May 22nd, 2025!
Step Into the Quarantined Chaos of Los Angeles
Set in a quarantined version of LA, lovingly dubbed "HELL-A," Dead Island 2 lets you take control of one of six unique slayers, each with distinct personalities and abilities. As a mysterious outbreak turns the City of Angels into a decaying nightmare, you'll battle your way through hordes of the undead, uncover dark secrets behind the outbreak, and try to survive the carnage.
A Gore-Soaked Playground Like No Other
This isn't your average zombie game. Dead Island 2 features an incredibly detailed and over-the-top gore system called FLESH (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids). Whether you're smashing skulls with a wrench or slicing limbs with a modded katana, each attack feels brutal, satisfying, and visceral.
Expect to see flesh tear, bones snap, and organs spill in vivid detail. Every encounter with the undead is a cinematic gore-fest you won’t soon forget.
Slay Your Way With Card-Based Skills
Say goodbye to boring, linear skill trees. Dead Island 2 introduces a dynamic card-based skill system that allows you to collect, equip, and swap out ability cards on the fly. Whether you want to focus on melee combat, environmental kills, or mobility, there's a card for every playstyle.
This flexible system encourages experimentation, making each playthrough unique and adaptive to any scenario you encounter.
