Amazon has gone on a leak frenzy this morning. After already inadvertently revealing the title and release date of the new Tales From the Borderlands, it’s also dropped a Dead Island 2 bombshell.
Yep, the game that most people would have considered vapourware by this stage has finally re-surfaced and is gearing up for a release very soon.
The listing (which is still up at time of writing) has revealed that Deep Silver’s long-gestating Dead Island 2 is coming on February 3, 2023 to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Presumably PC as well, though Amazon doesn’t have a physical PC SKU listed.
Dead Island 2: Day 1 Edition (PS4) is up for preorder on Amazon ($69.99) https://t.co/tPNfDAfh8c #ad

The product description reveals some brand-new details around the game as well, which you can read below:

- Combat delivers the most intense, visceral and gory first person experience possible, with plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to chew your way through the zombie horde
- There are 6 characters to choose from, each with their own unique personality and dialogues – You can fully customize the abilities of each Slayer, with our brand-new skill system allowing you to re-spec instantly and try out the craziest builds.
- Our LA is crawling with zombies that look & react realistically – These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks & hundreds of LA-themed variants
- Day 1 Edition includes the Memories of Banoi Pack – Banoi War Club, Memories of Banoi Baseball Bat, Weapon Perk – balanced, Personal space skill card
Given we’re only a few days before Gamescom, we’d expect that we might see Dead Island 2 fully re-revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live, which takes place on Wednesday morning at 4am AEST. You can find all the in for that HERE.
