Delve Into The Characters of Dead Island 2 Set To Release This April



Deep Silver announces new information for Dead Island 2 characters set to release this April.

Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have revealed four out of the six playable characters you can expect to see swaggering around HELL-A when Dead Island 2 releases on April 28th, 2023. The latest to join the group of unlikely heroes are Ryan, who’s very much used to bringing the heat as a sexy firefighter, but in HELL-A dancing won’t get you far when slaying the infected; and Dani, an Irish rockabilly brawler with a knack for fecking up zombies!

Check out each characters reveal and cosplay guides here:


Here’s a little bit about four of them:

JACOB

An antihero with rockstar flair, Jacob’s offbeat charm is paired with a reckless disregard for self-preservation. When his beloved mum passed, this successful London stockbroker left everything behind to follow his dream of being a Hollywood stuntman. Now his quips and Shakespearean quotes fall on undead ears as he revels in being a slayer in HELL-A. Lovely!

Hometown: London
Job: Stuntman
Loves: Shakespeare
Hates: Doing fuck all

AMY

Amy is a quick-witted Paralympian who has found something even better than her runner’s high: zombie-slaying! The risks keep her wired, the success keeps her pumped, and every battle is almost a puzzle to solve on the fly – like an obstacle course to keep her mind sharp. Laid-back, focused, and calm, very little can dent her California chill.

Hometown: LA
Job: Athlete
Loves: Being in the Lead
Hates: Losing

RYAN

There’s much more to this exotic dancer than rippling pecs. Ryan has a stubborn streak a mile wide, pessimistic sarcasm as dry as the Sahara, and an indomitable heart. He’s on a mission to get back to his little brother, left behind in Fresno before the outbreak, and nothing – alive or dead – is going to stop him getting home.

Hometown: Fresno
Job: Exotic Dancer
Loves: His brother
Hates: Exercise for fun

DANI

Hailing from the mosh pits of County Cork in Ireland, Dani is a headstrong rockabilly brawler with a foul mouth and a twisted sense of humor. She plows through zombies the way she plowed through opposing roller derby teams, pre-zompocalypse: with a grin and a yelled promise to feck you up!

Hometown: County Cork
Job: Retail Assistant
Loves: Breaking Rules
Hates: Talking to her family

Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation - Retro Rampage on Orca Isle (Game Review)
