Based on the currently released information, Dead Island 2 is expected to have a heavy focus on cooperative play, with several locations available for exploration.

Coupled with that, the game will sport an all-new cast of five to six characters. Coming with new settings, areas such as Hollywood and San Francisco will present a stark difference from the first game, which was set on just one island.

Following a Deep Silver and Embrace Group financial call, it was revealed that the game is expected to be out by March 31, 2022, but speculation is still rife.
