Light up HollywoodThe long road to Dead Island 2 is nearing a launch date. Ahead of that, Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver have published a new extended gameplay trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHOqRtA4OK8), highlighting all the ways in which you can thin out the zombie horde in Dead Island 2.
Much like the first game, Dead Island 2 is a first-person zombie game that looks to have a similar mix of ranged and melee combat. As the player ventures through the infected streets of in-universe Los Angeles, you can see how the different systems interact.
It looks like elemental effects still play a big role, as both environmental hazards and weapon accoutrements. I mean, if you're taking down the undead, why not add a little electricity or fire to the situation?

Dambuster also showed off a bit of its grisly dismemberment and flesh-tearing tech. It certainly looks like all the undead slaying will be gruesome, if you're looking for that.
The dawn of the dead loomsDead Island 2 has been in development for quite a long time (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-still-a-thing/), as it's moved around dates (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-delay-april-28-sequel-deep-silver-dambuster/) and studios (https://www.destructoid.com/deep-silver-drops-dead-island-2-developer-yager/) alike. Next month, though, that road seems like it will be coming to a close, as Dambuster and Deep Silver look to finally get the zombie action out the door.
And honestly, after watching today's deep dive, I'm more intrigued than I initially expected. I played the first Dead Island and had a decent enough time with it. Where other zombie games have opted for parkour or co-op action, there was something about Dead Island's weapon-crafting and pseudo-RPG concepts that gave it a little bit of a different feel.
So maybe I will craft my own flaming axe of destruction and set out into "Hell-A" next month. Get acquainted with some of the Slayers you can play as in the new game here (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-slayers-who-are-they-overview-zombie-survival/), before Dead Island hits on April 21.
