Although we are not yet sure if they are playable characters, we do hope they can be played! Also, who wouldn’t want female character leads, right? We remember Xian Mei and Purna Jackson of the first Dead Island! They hold the Assassin and Support roles, respectively, among the characters before.You can take a peek at the possible characters! And if we’re not mistaken, those are two girls, right? We can’t get the perfect angle shot, but also do note that there’s fake blood below. They were also busy slaying a zombie, but the other waved back. But, if you noticed at the trailer as well, he waved to two other people at the 2:30 mark. Jacob’s the only character who has a name and has been officially welcomed to the playable characters.The developers opt for a new Black character lead, so can we expect more diverse characters again for this newest installment? We hope so! Yep, that’s the name of the protagonist there! Jacob is the first introduced character in the game and he’s so cool slaying all those zombies. If you’ve watched the official trailer above, you probably know Jacob.Although about the others, there is no clear vision yet, hints, and rumors are here and there.

#DEAD ISLAND 2 CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION PC#
Dead Island 2 is out on February 3rd, 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Google Stadia. The preview notes that much of this will feel familiar for those who have played the previous game (along with Dying Light 1 and 2). Each offers different traits, buffs and abilities for one’s character, and is reshuffled to change your build. But more interesting is the character customization, which depends on cards in a Skill Deck.
#DEAD ISLAND 2 CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION UPGRADE#
Like the first game, you can upgrade weapons in several ways like adding blowtorches to an axe for fiery strikes, and electric claws. You’ll also need to constantly hound him to prevent HP regeneration via the many corpses around the boss arena. In addition to the usual zombies, players encounter bosses like Butcho, who has sharp arm bones that pin players down like spears. Some zombie corpses have gas canisters and water bottles so it’s easy to add both elements into combat. Even the elements help enhance combat with oil ignited by fire (which can be doused by water), water conducting electricity and so on. A Stamina system is present, but it’s noted to be generous, and you won’t be stopping every few seconds for a breather. In addition to dodging, kicking and jumping, players can also use throwable weapons like grenades, shurikens, bait bombs, and so on. Zombies are procedurally shredded with each attack, resulting in chunks flying all over the place. The Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids or FLESH enhances the gore. The combat is fairly bloody, which is accentuated by Fury Mode.įury Mode occurs due to the main cast suffering from zombie infection but allows for unleashing powerful attacks (like ripping zombies apart bare-handed). There are six playable characters, each with distinct personalities and support for three-player co-op. Though development started with YAGER before moving to Sumo Digital and finally Dambuster, the current team has built its version of the sequel from scratch. In a hands-on preview by IGN, various new details were revealed. Helmed by Dambuster Studios, it sees players slaying zombies in Los Angeles (referred to as Hell A), fighting for survival. Dead Island 2 re-emerged at Gamescom Opening Night Live, following years of development purgatory, rumors and leaks on Amazon.
