Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios’ DEAD ISLAND 2, the megahit zombie slaughter-fest released nearly 12 years after its predecessor that sold a million units in its first weekend of existence, is getting DLC. Recently, the companies shared details of what gamers can expect.
As of this writing, a skin-swapping cosplay feature is available for those who’ve reached the “Call the Cavalry” mission. Both premium and freebie packs are available that imbue each of the six slayers with additional skins and weapons. Aside from the new window dressing, story expansions are planned as well:
- Haus (releases during Q4 2023): “How does a billionaire prepare for the zompocalypse? With a techno-death cult and a healthy splash of debauchery and gore.”
- SOLA Festival (releases during Q2 2024): “Where LA’s party people can greenwash their way to ecstasy and save the planet in true LA fashion, one rave at a time.”
Each pack promises to deliver new missions and weapons as well as new environs to explore across the concrete jungle that is HELL-A. Both story expansions will be offered individually for purchase or as a part of the DEAD ISLAND 2 Expansion Pass.
