It's been more than a decade since the events of Banoi and Palanoi, and now the United States government has placed the state of California in a full quarantine due to a zombie outbreak. After several years of radio silence, Dambuster’s version was revealed at Gamescom 2022, and finally released on Apfor 8th and 9th generation consoles, and for PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive. However, Yager was moved off the project, with another developer, Sumo Digital, taking their place in 2016, only for Sumo Digital to get moved off as well and replaced with Dambuster Studios in 2019.

It was originally announced at E3 2014 for release the following year, again published by Deep Silver and to be developed by Yager Studios (of Spec Ops: The Line fame), taking over from original developer Techland. Dead Island 2 comes out on April 21 for Xbox and PlayStation platforms, and PC via the Epic Games Store, so prepare to give all of those Slayers a whirl.Dead Island 2 is the long-delayed sequel to the cult 2011 co-op zombie survival game Dead Island. And if Bruno doesn’t seem to be your favorite, then you check out the previous trailers for the other Slayers – Jacob, Amy, Ryan, Dani, and Carla – via those links, and the game’s official site suggests additional slayers will arrive post-launch. Backstab allows Bruno to get a damage boost when attacking zombies from behind, and Rapid Reprisal boosts his agility and heavy attack charges when using a block or dodge to avoid attacks. (now known as Hell-A, due to the zombie infestation and whatnot) More importantly, it gives us a peak at his innate skills that will help players along the way.

While the clip itself is fairly quick like the others, it does still deliver us a look at Bruno, a hustler and thief who grew up on the streets of L.A. And as a way of building up to the release of the zombie-slaying action-RPG’s sequel, developer Dambuster Studios have spent the last three months gradually introducing us the the game’s six playable characters (known as “Slayers”), with the final trailer for the last Slayer, Bruno, having finally dropped. In just a couple of months, the long-in-the-making Dead Island 2 will finally see its release, having gone gold earlier this month and even having moved its release date up by a week after numerous delays.
