Watch the new Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer
The new Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer features Dani, a Slayer, who must make her way through the streets of Beverly Hills and Bel-Air. To aid her in her travels, she can use new weapons and powerful skills like ground pounds.
The FLESH dismemberment system is a particular highlight, with players able to target specific weak points and cause major damage. This damage is reflected in the blood and guts that litter the roads and mansions.
Skill Cards are also spotlighted in this extended gameplay trailer, with players able to mix and match skill cards to tailor their build to each scenario.
Another highlight is the ground pound, which is especially effective at quickly knocking down enemies that are starting to surround Dani.
Dead Island 2 has “gone gold,” which means the game is finally ready for distribution. The release date has been a long time coming, after being delayed multiple times.
Curiously, Dead Island 2 is the first game that will have Alexa controls.
