New Dead Island 2 Gameplay Showcases Zombie Powers And An In-Game Alexa



Thanks to a new Dead Island 2 showcase, we now have more details on what can be expected upon its release as well as an extended look at its gameplay.

In addition, it was revealed that the character you play is infected and is walking a fine line between becoming a zombie and staying human. Due to your character being infected, you’ll have zombie-like powers that appear to make you stronger and deal more damage for a brief period.

In typical Dead Island fashion, players will have a wide range of weapons to use, spanning from hammers, knives, guns, and even weapons you can make yourself. There will also be a rich cast of characters and zombie variants players will meet along the way.

Those who pre-order Dead Island 2 will unlock the “Memories Of Banoi Pack,” which comes with two unique weapons that pay homage to the original Dead Island alongside a special skill card.

Players can pre-order two versions of the game. Listed below is what they’ll receive in the HELL-A Edition:
