If you’re looking for a gorily good time in a zombie apocalypse, survival action game Dead Island 2 has a huge discount for a limited time.
Sometimes you need the videogame equivalent of a stress ball. For what Dead Island 2 lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for with a gory, brutal hack-and-slash zombie experience that sees you ripping through undead hordes in a satirical take on Los Angeles. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s now at its lowest-ever price with all its DLC included.
One of the standout zombie games of recent years, Dead Island 2 was a surprising comeback story after a protracted development that saw multiple studios taking a swing at getting the sequel over the line. It finally launched in 2023, a whopping 12 years after the original game.
Its satirical take on LA isn’t the most cutting, but its hack-and-slash action and gore effects are second to none. Our Dead Island 2 review called it “a slow starter, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get infected,” complimenting the game’s gnarly combat and beautiful setting.
If you want the full zombie-killing experience, Fanatical’s got you covered. For a limited time, you can pick up Dead Island 2: Ultimate Edition for just $45.49 / £37.69, which packages the game and its previously released DLC together. That includes the two story expansions, Sola and Haus.
If you’re looking to dive into one of the best co-op games, this is a killer deal. And it’s actually cheaper than both the standard and deluxe versions of the game on Fanatical. However, you only have until Saturday, January 19, 2025 at 4pm PST / Sunday, January 20, 2025 at 0:00 GMT to grab it.
I bought Dead Island 2 at launch at full price and had a blast. The world’s tongue-in-cheek nature made any bugs and glitches funny, but almost two years later, a lot of its problems have been ironed out. I loved playing it solo, but it’s an even better time with friends.
