Written by Brandon Hofer on August 11, 2014

News: Deep Silver and Yager have released the first gameplay trailer for Dead Island 2 which is slated for a Spring 2015 release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Gamescom is upon us and Deep Silver has just released a new trailer for Dead Island 2 to celebrate. In the debut gameplay trailer, sunshine meets bloody melee violence once again, this time in the sunny realms of California.

Dead Island 2 picks up the Dead Island and Escape Dead Island storyline several months after the events on the Banoi islands. The United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine which, for some, is a dream come true with a promise of a fresh start. California's newfound bloody paradise is an action-packed playground featuring the acclaimed, seamless multiplayer for up to eight players who cooperate, compete or simply coexist in a truly social, new-gen multiplayer experience.

Fans at Gamescom will enjoy the Dead Island 2 zombie slaughter fest under the blue skies of Los Angeles, just below the iconic Hollywood sign in the first hands-on showcase at the Deep Silver booth in Hall 9.1, B11/C10.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think about Dead Island 2. Will you be picking it up? If so, which platform will you be getting it on?
