LA goes to hell in February
The info says there’ll be six different zombie slayers to choose from, all with their own dialogue. Each slayer’s abilities are customisable, with the option to re-spec on the spot to try new builds. “Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the zombie inside,” the Amazon listing reads.
It looks very much like the original concept for a zombie-infested Los Angeles wasn’t scrapped along with the developers. Not sure how that makes it a dead island rather than a dead city but, hey, anything’s cool in LA. The info states the city’s quarantined so I guess that counts. According to the leaked info, you’ll be able to explore “from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach”.
“Our LA is crawling with zombies that look & react realistically,” the blurb says. “These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks & hundreds of LA-themed variants.” Realistic zombies, eh? Wouldn’t like to have to meet one of those.
