It has been more than 8 years since Dead Island 2 was announced, but it was not until last August that it finally made its media comeback after changing developers several times, but ultimately not so different in form than the proposal at the time. Then dated February 3, 2023, it has since been delayed to April 28, 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. A Dead Island 2 Showcase had then been announced for this Tuesday, December 6 and allowed us to discover a little more about his gameplay.

Yes, it’s not a joke, owners of the game on PC and Xbox in the US, Canada and the UK will be able to use their voice to interact with zombies, spawn the map or change weapons, among other things.
The trailer showcases the brutality of the clashes, taking advantage of technology FLESH (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) for things like squishing, burning, and slicing zombies. The recreation of Los Angeles will also be populated with crazy NPCs, as well as various types of enemies. In addition to a varied arsenal (katanas, swords, machetes, bear claws, various firearms…), it will be possible to craft more exotic tools and, once bitten, to use the “Z Power to slaughter anything that stands in front of us with our bare hands.
