Less than two months until the release of Dead Island 2 around the world and Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver have unveiled a new trailer for the game that allows you to take an in-depth look at the gameplay and action present in the opening stages of the title in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Equipped with an array of weapons, each with her own unique brutal fighting style and endless power-up opportunities, hunter Dani encounters Standard (Walker, Stagger, Runner), Variant (Grenadier Walker), and Alpha (Hyper Mutate Zombies) zombies, all with unique powers and behaviors .
Hailing from County Cork in Ireland, Dani is tough yet level-headed – a unique slayer trait that is well suited to an agile fighting style. Her mission? Reach the Halperin Hotel. Players will also be able to combine a powerful set of Skill Cards, to enhance their skills and suit their play style, assisting Dani as she works her way through the early part of the game. Dambuster Studios’ dismemberment technology, known as FLESH (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids), means that crushing bones, slicing zombies and melting flesh has never been so satisfying. As an infected but somewhat immune slayer, you can finally understand what happens when hunters activate their corrupted DNA to use Fury Mode.
Note: For the purposes of this trailer, some weapons and abilities have been unlocked and will only be available later in the game.
