Successors in the starting blocks
From April 22, 2024, Dead Island 2 will finally be available on Steam. The game was released a year ago, but PC players can only purchase it via the Epic Games Store. Unlike its two predecessors, Dead Island 2 does not take place on a remote island, but on the mainland.
The game turned out to be a commercial hit. Two million copies were sold in the first two months after release alone. The German version was cropped in places. This means it is not possible to dismantle defeated opponents into their individual parts. Otherwise the game would probably not have received an age rating in this country.
