When is Dead Island 2 Coming Out? – Dead Island 2 Release Date Revealed

Dead Island 2 launches on April 21st, 2023. After many delays, it is expected that this date stays final. It’s been over a decade since the first Dead Island, so it’s understandable that people can’t wait to play the sequel.

It will release for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via the Epic Game Store. You can pre-order the game right now if you feel so inclined, but it’s always best to wait and see with these kinds of things, trust us.

You can also sign up for the newsletter for Dead Island 2 here, and you’ll receive the Trickster’s Smile Knife in-game when it launches. Please follow the instructions at the bottom of the linked page.

If you want to know more about the game, here is the official description of the Youtube trailer from the official Dead Island account.

“HELL-A is waiting to welcome you, survive the infected – by any means necessary. Hack, punch, shoot, and eviscerate your way through a gore-drenched Los Angeles, use your deadly force at will, and earn your stripes as a zombie Slayer on February 3, 2023 (moved to April 21st, 2023). The proof is in the (pretty disgusting) pudding in this awesome footage taken from gameplay that Dead Island 2 is here to deliver you the ultimate zombie slaying experience.”
