Dead Island 2 recently suffered yet another delay, but it seems the game’s new spring 2023 release date is locked in, as pre-orders for the game are now open. Publisher Deep Silver has also released a particularly-gruesome new trailer, which shows off some of the game’s zombies, weapons, and the disgusting things that happen when the two meet. Check it out for yourself, below.
Meanwhile, there are at least six different versions of Dead Island 2 available, ranging from the standard $70 base edition, to the $100 Hell-A Edition and $120 Gold Edition, which both include an Expansion Pass (which we don’t know the contents of yet).

In a unique move, Deep Silver is also offering a resin statue of the type that would usually be part of an ultra-expensive collector’s edition, but instead they’re simply selling it on its own via their store for 120 euros.
Dead Island 2 shambles onto PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 on April 28, 2023.
