TEN MILLION SLAYERS CAN’T BE WRONG…

16:00 BST 25 OCTOBER 2024: Dead Island 2 – the thrilling First-Person Action zombie slaying RPG set in the iconic, gore-drenched streets of Los Angeles – has hit a record ten million players!

The milestone was reached on the same day that Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition launched, offering a free upgrade to all Gold Edition owners, granting them access to all the content Hell-A has to offer.

Whether you're an existing player or brand new to the franchise, this is the ultimate entry ticket to HELL-A. Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition includes the base game, HAUS and SoLA (Dead Island 2’s twisted story expansions) and a bucketload of stylish cosmetics and deadly weapons, including: 

·   Golden Weapons Pack 

·   Memories of Banoi Pack 

·   Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Weapon Pack 

·   Pulp Weapons Pack 

·   Red’s Demise Katana 

·   All six Slayers’ Premium Skin Packs 

And for anyone who has yet to give Dead Island 2 a try – there will be free playable trial versions on Xbox and PlayStation digital storefronts. This allows you to play a limited session (both single player and co-op) of the game with your save game progress transferring to the full version once you purchase.
