Screenshots in the Amazon listing suggest the sequel will focus on melee combat, just like the first game.Īccording to the listing, the Day One edition of Dead Island 2 will include the Memories of Banoi DLC pack, netting you an in-game baseball bat, club, weapon perk, and character skill card.

For starters, Dead Island 2’s roster of playable characters has been expanded to six, from the four initially announced back in 2014. We expect some hefty changes have been made since Dambuster took over the project. Come 2019, however, publisher THQ Nordic revealed Homefront: The Revolution developer Dambuster Studios was developing the game. Dead Island 2 was originally under development at Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager, before Sumo Digital – the studio behind Sackboy: A Big Adventure – announced it had taken ownership of the project in 2016.
