A few hours ago, we reported on a full suite of games coming to PlayStation Plus in October. There are 14 fantastic titles coming to the service, but there is one game that stands out above the rest.
In April 2023, Dambuster Studios finally released Dead Island 2 after over a decade of development. The game quickly became one of the most anticipated open world zombie survival games ever made, and it did not disappoint when it hit the market.
It will be available as a free download on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in October.
You kept waiting
It’s been a year and a half since Dead Island 2 hit the market, and in that time Dambuster Studios has poured a lot of content into the game, including two major expansion packs.
This outstanding open-world zombie slasher hit over 7 million players in May 2024, and in just a few days another landmark piece of content is set to hit the platform. On October 22, players will receive the ‘Neighborhood Watch’ update, which includes Horde Mode and New Game Plus.
This patch is available for free, making it the perfect time for the game to be added to PlayStation Plus.
Ahead of the game’s April 2023 release, I gained exclusive access to the title and was able to compile my first impressions. From the moment I played the preview product, I was hooked on Dead Island 2. It’s a fun and gory entertainment game that takes players through an immersive story set in a variety of small sandbox environments.
It features returning characters from the series, a variety of amazing weapons, and the freedom to be whatever type of player you want to be.
