eXophase: "Dead Island has always been one of those joyfully dumb series that’s just really fun to play but maybe takes itself too seriously. This year at E3, Deep Silver showcased the next entry in the zombie franchise, aptly titled Dead Island 2, a game that no longer tries to be dark and moody just for the hell of it and instead embraces its wild goofiness. The result is a zombie game for the newer crop of consoles that looks especially enticing."
"Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver are today very happy and proud to announce that "Dead Island 2" (their multimillion copy selling first-person action RPG), is now available via Steam." - Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
In a late night surprise, it appears that some users are reporting that Dead Island 2 has been stealth dropped on Xbox Game Pass.
