After almost a decade worth of delays, Dead Island 2 is finally ready to see the light of day. The open-world zombie survival title will launch this April on all major platforms. Pre-order perks and bonuses vary as per the version purchased.
From DLC bonuses, to campaign length, here’s what to expect from the highly-anticipated title.
Dead Island 2 to release on April 21, 2023 with 20+ hours of content
Discussing the game’s campaign length, Dead Island 2 developer Dambuster Studios stated that the campaign takes “around 20 hours to complete,” accounting for most of the game’s side missions and optional activities. This estimate isn’t fully accurate as collectibles aren’t accounted for. If players opt to sift through the massive world for all collectibles, users could take 30+ hours to hit full completion.
