Dead Island 2 had dragged down more than a million players back in April, and we'd bet the undead RPG has shipped more than a couple of copies since. Publisher Deep Silver has announced it will be supported by two expansions, which will add additional story content to the over-the-top co-op RPG.
Both expansions are included in the game's Expansion Pass, which goes for $29.99 / £24.99. The first is called Haus and will arrive in Q4 2023, while the second, SOLA Festival, is expected in Q2 2024. Both feature a musical theme and, undoubtedly, violence on an industrial scale.
Haus has players exploring how a billionaire would go about surviving the zombie apocalypse and involves a techno-death cult, debauchery, and gore. Meanwhile, LA's various party-goers can attempt to save the planet at the SOLA Festival, an eco-friendly rave featuring some decidedly unfriendly attendees.

I really wanted to buy this game but with the average as hell gameplay, ugly character designs, and the story that has little effort put into it is just not worth paying $70.
Well there’s one opinion from someone who didn’t play it.. I (for one) thought it was the most stupid fun I’ve had in a long time with a game.. the visuals were beautiful, the gameplay was fun and intriguing, the main and mini missions were a blast, and after 80 hours it left me wanting for more
Unfortunately I have the gamer attention span of a squirrel and probably will not get the DLC as I will be so far out from having played the game that I’ll have my sights set on other things
Really hope for a Dead Island 3 in 10 more years 🙃
@WolfyTn Sorry that I didn't spend $70 on a game, but I like to look at trusted reviewers before buying it.
@WolfyTn @Nepp67 Horses for courses… this is definitely my game of 2023 so far! Bought the HELL-A edition which includes the expansion pass so can’t wait for the updates! If you’re looking for a deep, serious story in a Dead Island game you’re going to be disappointed but if you’re looking for some mindless fun you’re going to have a great time. 🙃
Aside from the garbage ending, this game was an absolute blast.
Absolutely going to get this, one of my games of the year so far so definitely want to jump back in, trophy-dependant naturally.
I'm with you, @astro911. I've played all the big releases thus far in 2023, and undoubtedly I've had the most fun in Dead island. It's a great game, and for me, probably the best in the series to date, which is saying something when you consider the exceptionally troubled development history it went through. I also bought the top edition so will be automatically getting the DLC. It was a gamble to do so, but I'm very pleased I did. I cannot wait to see what they come up with...
Imagine somebody saying a game is bad or putting it down because they read some reviews or some other peoples comments on it.
This is/ was a great game, super fun and and b movie type gore, real fun side quests and likeable characters.
Sleeper GOTY
So the only thing I have not seen about this game is the multi player aspect of it. It seems fun but nobody ever seems to talk about that part.
Had a very good time with this game, as solid of a 7/10 as there can be. I can see waiting for a sale if you don't have that kind of cash to throw around but it was a good experience and well worth it imo. Fun platinum too if you want more bang for your buck!
Just started my platinum run last night. Plays really nicely but it does look like a ps4 game
I haven't bought this yet, waiting for a $30 New sale or free with PS Plus.
