It is still enabled dead island 2 token on Amazon, but all sensitive information has already been removed except for the cover and images. From the description shared by Wario 64 we can know that “Dead Island 2 takes players through the most iconic places in the city of The Angelsnow tinged with horror, on a pulpy thrill ride from the verdant suburbs of Beverly Hills to the quirky Venice Beach boardwalk.”
As for playable features, we can read what it offers “the most intense, visceral and bloody first-person experience possiblewith plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to fight your way through the zombie horde.” It will feature 6 characters with unique skills and dialogue, and the ability to instantly customize your skills from scratch to create all kinds of builds.
Regarding the graphic and technical section, he explains that they have been in charge of zombies look and react realistically. There will be dozens of types of zombies with their own mutations and attacks.
Finally, in terms of the plot, it seems to be, again, a typical zombie story that serves as the narrative framework for this huge playground where you can kill zombies. Overnight, the city of Los Angeles wakes up in the midst of a zombie epidemic and for an unknown reason, only you and another group of people seem immune to the disease. “As you uncover the truth behind the outbreak, you’ll discover who or what you are. Survive, Evolve, Save the World. Another day in Los Angeles.”
At the moment there has been no official announcement after this leak, but everything seems to be planned for the celebration of the Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live which will take place next Tuesday with the participation of other games such as The Callisto Protocol or Hogwarts Legacy. Once again, it seems that Geoff KEighley is leaking part of the event again.
