From the looks, the character styles, the stat-swapping deck system and its brutal, on-brand weaponry. The kind folk at PLAION have granted us access to the first five hours of the game, and I’m going to tell you all about it. We at Finger Guns were fortunate enough to be invited to play a preview of the game. It’s finally here, gracing us on April 21st this year. Perhaps not to its residents, 90% of which are shambling undead monstrosities, but the game itself.

Well, I can safely say that time has definitely been kind to Dead Island 2. First announced in 2014, the sequel to Deep Silver’s head-smashing hit has been plagued with issues, casted doubts and a whiff of Duke Nukem Forever’s “it might come out but suck” about it. For Dead Island 2, it’s also been a rocky time. Recessions, World Cup’s, even a global pandemic just to really kick everyone’s metaphorical teeth in. We got our hands on it early, so let's see if it's worth the wait:Ī lot can happen in nine years. The long-awaited but never-forgotten Dead Island 2 is finally coming.
