Embracer Group is no more, as the company has made the decision to split into three separate entities, with various developers divided up amongst them.
]]>Dambuster Studios has announced a release date for the second batch of story DLC coming to Dead Island 2.
]]>Would you look at that, Dead Island 2 looks to have quietly rocked up on Xbox Game pass without an official announcement as of writing.
]]>If you have been waiting for Dead Island 2 to release on Steam, your patience is about to pay off - and then some.
]]>2023 was certainly a tumultuous year for the video game industry, for good and for bad. For consumers, it was great! For the industry itself, certainly less so. With record-breaking layoffs across the gaming and tech sectors, strike authorization for video game voice actors approved for American unions, and various companies being hacked: the gaming space has taken some serious blows this year.
]]>It’s common to hear 2023 referred to as one of the best years we’ve had in a while when it comes to the quality of video games consistently releasing throughout the year. But I’d like to argue that it’s also the year many B games established themselves as more than just the stuff you skip past when you’re looking at the calendar.
]]>Dambuster Studios has announced Haus, the first story expansion for Dead Island 2, and it's releasing on November 2.
]]>Early on in Dead Island 2 you will find yourself wandering through the bachelor pad that is the Goat Pen mansion. What was once home to budding influencers is now merely home to their zombies, and there are a few areas here that can’t be accessed without the Goat Pen Master Key.
]]>After hearing some frantic cries for help from one of the many mansions across Dead Island 2’s take on Bel-Air, you will likely encounter Curtis Sinclair. He needs some help clearing his pad of zombies, and as resident zombie-slayer around here, you’ve no trouble helping him out.
]]>Deep Silver, and Dead Island 2 developer Dambuster have plenty of reasons to celebrate this week. Following a largely positive critical reception, the audience, too, has responded in kind.
]]>By now, you've probably made up your mind about Dead Island 2. Though the game only released a few days ago, reviews have been out for a little longer. Our very own Kelsey Raynor called it, "A HELL-A zany take on the co-op zombie shooter", awarding it four stars.
]]>Nvidia has announced the latest round of games added to its GeForce Now streaming service.
]]>Getting around HELL-A in Dead Island 2 isn’t all that troublesome, especially with an immunity to zombie bites. Alas, there are a few tips and tricks that’ll help you get started and reign victorious over the plague that wound you up here in the first place.
]]>Dead Island 2 isn’t a complex game by any means; kill a zombie, talk to a traumatised survivor, find a circuit breaker, and repeat. However, some of the game's puzzles can catch you a little off guard, and the various vats and wheels of HELL-A’s sewers do just that.
]]>You’ll be well on your way with Dead Island 2’s story by now. At this point, our suspicions surrounding the intentions of Dr. Reed are high, and we’re looking to scope out an alternative lab he has been hiding in The Search for Truth quest.
]]>The Skill Deck in Dead Island 2 is a revamped version of the skill tree that feels more fun and interactive thanks to the use of unlockable cards. Ultimately, these cards and how you arrange them in your Skill Deck will determine your strengths and weaknesses as a zombie slayer, and can make taking on hordes an absolute blast.
]]>What sets Dead Island 2 apart from other zombie-slaying co-op titles? The array of weapons on offer, and just how customisable they are. During the first portion of the game, your weapons aren’t necessarily something to ogle over, but later on? They feel immense. Taking down zombies Wolverine-style and watching them burst into flames has never felt so satisfying.
]]>Dead Island 2 is the co-op zombie shooter many of us have been waiting for, and it’s about time it finally released. As ever, bashing in the brains of zombies is more fun with friends on board, but exactly how does multiplayer work in Dead Island 2? Is there cross-play, and is progression carried over between saves?
]]>It’s merely a matter of hours (for some) before players can finally jump into Dead Island 2. It’s not like we’ve been waiting for years already or anything. Alas, release time is upon us, and we won’t be waiting much longer before we can embark upon the streets of HELL-A.
]]>Dead Island 2 starts in the sun-soaked and blood-drenched City of Angels, but there are no angels here. Brain-dead, ravenous zombies govern this city, now casually called HELL-A. You awaken aboard an aeroplane that has succumbed to the plague of zombies, and with merely the clothes on your back and an immunity to the undead’s slavering bites, you need to escape from HELL-A. Even if you have to become every other survivor’s middle man in the process.
]]>Following what has been quite a long and difficult development period, Dead Island 2 is just around the corner. Soon enough, many of us will be running around sun-soaked HELL-A bashing all manner of zombies brains in.

]]>A new video showing off some new Dead Island 2 gameplay has been released, showing off plenty of gore, weapons, and combat.
]]>Game delays strike again, and they’re certainly something that Dead Island 2 has been no stranger to. That said, the zombie shooter from Dambuster Studios has been delayed until April 28, 2023.
]]>It’s midnight, and the light of a full moon glints on the surface of the Pacific Ocean. You can see the ebbing of the shoreline, how the light scatters differently on the surface of the waves versus the sand. Alongside the wash of the sea, you can hear subdued, guttural groaning, the shuffling of Crocs through sand. There’s an undead woman – flesh hanging off her cheek in a clump – limping towards you. No urgency, no pressure. She could be drunk, in another time and place, and just off for a walk down Venice beach.
]]>Whether you like it or not, weapon durability is here to stay in games. Whether you’re in the camp that thinks it helped make Breath of the Wild one of the standout games of a generation or not, you need to admit that the controversial system is a permanent fixture. Turn to pretty much any genre of game and you’ll find it there – Yakuza, Dead Rising, Fire Emblem, Far Cry, State of Decay, Minecraft, Zelda, Silent Hill. Weapon degradation is here to stay.
