The road to Dead Island 2 was longer than most. In 2011, Techland and Deep Silver released the first Dead Island, a sort of zombie-themed take on Borderlands. Following a couple of expansions and spinoffs, Dead Island 2 was announced way back in 2014. We’ve been covering it since then! The undead sequel changed development hands a few times over the years, with the UK-based Dambuster Studios eventually bringing the game back to life and over the finish line. Dead Island 2 is finally here, and while it doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it is a solid first-person cooperative zombie slaying game.
