Released almost exactly a year ago, Dead Island 2 makes us want to return to HELL-A through a second expansion that seems to tear up in more ways than one.
Called SoLA, the new extension of Dead Island 2 offers us the opportunity to participate in a music festival in Los Angeles. It stood out in particular with a trailer which announces the color (blood red) and sets the tone (musical).
Dead Island 2 opens new concert in LA (and zombies)
Last November, Dead Island 2 welcomed its first expansion: Haus. This proved to be even more successful than an already solid base game, at least in its very thrilling gameplay. In this major DLC, it was about exploring a research center that had everything of a horror house. With SoLA, the game’s newly released second expansion, we return to the sunny skies of Los Angeles, heading to a festival that Hellfest would not have denied.
This second major DLC for Dead Island 2 therefore allows us to reconnect with the semi-open world aspect of the base game. We thus abandon a claustrophobic and slightly horrific atmosphere to rediscover the very crazy aspect of the franchise. Not content with feasting our ears on a new story, SoLA has no shortage of new content. The most notable being two new particularly gory zombie archetypes. On one side we have the Whiplash, who uses his insides to hit us from a distance. On the other hand, we have the Coagulant, which can break down and return to form when you least expect it. And good appetite, of course.
SoLA is already available on PC (via the Epic Games Store) and PlayStation/Xbox consoles for expansion pass holders, or individually for 14.99 euros. Note that, Dead Island 2 having been released on April 21, 2023, the temporary one-year exclusivity on PC will soon end, with the game finally arriving on Steam on April 22. Ready for this apocalyptic concert at HELL-A?
