First Dead Island 2 Expansion Coming in November

Since its April release, Dead Island 2 has gotten a relatively decent reception. Since then, there have been a variety of updates to fix bugs and polish the performance. Now, developer Dambuster Studios and publisher PLAION have revealed the first expansion to the game coming in November.

Dead Island 2’s Haus expansion is a brand new story expansion with a new location in Malibu. There will be new weapons and cards, as well as new characters. Here is what the press release has to say about the Haus expansion when it releases on November 2^nd.

“Lose yourself in a surreal, psycho-horror dreamscape as you investigate a mysterious cult in Malibu with Dead Island 2 Haus, the first story expansion for Dead Island 2.

Dead Island 2 Haus takes players to a completely new story, where a secret billionaire’s techno-death cult fights for survival amidst the Zompocalypse. Haus is a paragon of a new future, as prophesied by their enigmatic leader Konstantin.

Players will battle through Haus with new weapons and cards, as they face legions of zombies intent on their slaughter. Haus is set in a completely new location, a mysterious and stylish villa in Malibu where the boundaries of morality are pushed to the limit.

This nightmarish location serves as both a sanctuary and a machine to strip away flesh and harvest the soul. Players will weave through the deranged labyrinth of biomes where rational architecture is subverted by expanding narrative spaces.”

Dead Island 2 Haus will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Epic Games Store. There are some interesting things on the horizon for Dead Island 2 fans, and I’m curious to see more about this expansion. We know there is at least one more expansion on the way according to the roadmap, but I hope there’s more. Dead Island 2 seems to be an interesting (and bloody) sandbox.
