Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios may have launched Dead Island 2 in 2023, but it was exclusive to Epic Games Store for launch and has been over the last year. That changes this week with the game officially coming to Steam. Not only did the base game make it over, but Dead Island 2’s DLC expansions, Haus and SoLA, came along with it and all are available now.
Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios celebrated the arrival of Dead Island 2 on Steam with a new release trailer. Furthermore, the game hit Steam with a sale that allows players to get the base game or various premium versions at 50 percent off. For the base game it’ll come out to $29.99 USD. For the Gold Edition that features all of the DLC, including the Haus and SoLA expansions, it’ll run at $39.99 against the usual price of $80.
Dead Island 2 has been a bit of a guilty pleasure for a lot of players. It was by no means perfect, but it definitely brings the satisfying melee, nasty makeshift weapons, and visceral zombie combat that the series is well-known for. We gave it a middling score in our Shacknews review, but that didn’t stop it from being fun for a lot of players, and it achieved over 2 million units sales in the first months of its release.
With the content that’s been added since its release, new Dead Island 2 players on Steam are likely in for a treat if they’ve liked the series up to this point. For more news and updates on the game, as well as Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios, stay tuned here at Shacknews.
