E3 2014: ‘Dead Island 2’ Coming In 2015, Watch The Reveal Trailer

Briefly: I don’t think that anyone saw this coming.

During last night’s Sony E3 conference, Deep Silver officially revealed Dead Island 2. The reveal trailer wasn’t as incredible as the first Dead Island‘s announcement video, but hopefully the sequel can match what many of us were hoping that the first game could deliver.

It definitely looks less serious than Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide, which may be exactly what this series needs.

The press release states that “Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’’s Venice Beach.”

Take a look at the trailer for Dead Island 2 below, and let us know what you think! The game hits Xbox One, PS4, and PC in 2015.
