Dead Island 2 PS4 – First-Person Zombie Action RPG, Open HELL-A, 6 Slayers, Melee Weapon Mods, 3-Player Online Co-op – PAL R2 Disc

The Dead Island 2 PS4 disc holds the first-person zombie-slaying action RPG from Deep Silver Dambuster Studios, with additional development by Fishlabs, published by Deep Silver and released on 21 April 2023. The game is set in HELL-A, a version of Los Angeles overrun by mutated zombies, from the mansions of Beverly Hills to the Venice promenade. You pick one of 6 Slayers, craft brutal melee weapons and fight through the city solo or with up to 2 friends online. It is an 18-rated action game full of dark humour and gore.

Welcome to HELL-A

Dead Island 2 moves the series from a tropical island to Los Angeles, which the official PlayStation page calls HELL-A. The city has been overrun by mutated zombies, and you are one of the survivors trying to fight your way through it. Deep Silver’s site names Beverly Hills and the Venice promenade among the places you visit, so expect sunny, glamorous streets turned into scenes of chaos. Along the way you take on quests and meet eccentric survivors, each with their own problems and requests. The tone mixes horror with a lot of dark humour, which Sony’s page lists as one of the series’ trademarks. You choose from 6 Slayers, each with their own personality and customisable abilities, so the same story can feel different depending on who you play. Deep Silver has also released two paid story expansions, Haus and SoLA, sold separately.

Brutal Melee, Weapon Mods and Dozens of Zombie Types

Dead Island 2 is played in first person and focuses on close-range melee combat. Sony’s page lists dozens of zombie types, each with its own mutations and attacks, and a dismemberment system that shows the damage you deal on every enemy. At workbenches you can mod and craft weapons with special properties; the official examples are flaming katanas, explosive sledgehammers and electrified claws. Deep Silver describes a skill system that you can switch up as you go, so you can change how your Slayer plays without starting over. Exploration is open-world in style: you move between districts of HELL-A, take on side quests from survivors and search for supplies and weapon blueprints. The fighting is loud and gory, and the game rewards experimenting with different weapons and mods against different zombie types.

Solo or 3-Player Online Co-op

You can play the whole game solo, or team up in online co-op for up to 3 players. Online play requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. Deep Silver also mentions a co-op horde mode called the Bobcats. The PS4 version is listed as PS4 Pro Enhanced, and Remote Play is supported. Sony’s UAE page lists English voice audio with text in 14 languages, but Arabic is not among them. There is no split-screen and no PS VR support, so each co-op player needs their own console and copy.

PAL R2 Disc, PS4 and PS5

This is a new, sealed PAL Region 2 physical disc for the Europe and Middle East market. PS4 games are region-free, so it runs on any PS4, PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro. Sony’s page states the PS4 version can be played on PS5, though some PS4 features may be absent; you need a PS5 with a disc drive. The page does not mention a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Delivered across the UAE in up to 3 business days, free on orders from AED 300.

Who This Is Not For

Skip it if gore bothers you: dismemberment is a core feature and the game is rated 18. Co-op is online only, needs PlayStation Plus and supports up to 3 players, with no split-screen. Arabic is not offered. Combat is mostly melee, so shooter fans may find it limited. The story expansions Haus and SoLA are sold separately and are not part of this standard disc.
