It’s been in the works for a long time, but Dead Island 2 is finally, actually coming out. It’s set to release for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on February 3. It will come in several editions, and they’re all up for preorder now at all the usual retailers (see it on Amazon). Below, you’ll find a full rundown of what kind of game it is, what comes in each edition, how much it costs, and more. Let’s dive in.

Dead Island 2 is a sequel to the 2011 game Dead Island. It was first announced back in 2014 with an extremely cool CGI trailer, and then news of the game went radio silent until, essentially, now.
The game takes place in Los Angeles (hence the “HELL-A” edition) during a zombie apocalypse. You choose one of six characters to play as, and then you work your way through an open-world environment filled with hordes of the undead. It can be played solo or with up to two co-op partners.
One of the defining features of the original was its up-close gory kills, and those remain fully intact in this sequel. You accrue a wide array of weapons with which to bash in zombie faces. You can check out our Dead Island 2 hands-on preview for more details about what to expect.
