Over on the officialDead Island 2Twitter account, Dambuster Studios is prepping fans for a return to Hell-A for what is expected to be some brand-new content, possibly in the form of a substantial game update.
Back in May, Dambuster celebrated one year ofDead Island 2by confirming that more post-launch contentwas on the way. The developer acknowledged the seven million slayers who had entered Hell-A since launch and said it had heard all of the requests loud and clear. The studio went on to say that it would have more details to share on some long-awaited new game updates within the coming months, telling fans to stay tuned for moreDead Island 2content in the future.
AfterDead Island 2topped the Steam sales chartwith its release back in April, Dambuster appears to be eager to keep the momentum rolling as it teases some brand-new content for the hit zombie game. Over on Twitter, the officialDead Island 2account has released a short teaser trailer and urged fans to “hold tight” as “big news” will be dropping soon. The developer then said that Hell-A is calling fans back, seemingly teasing some sort of new game update.
After teasing fans with a return to Hell-A, a short video compiles the many comments fromDead Island 2fans begging for more content. The video then ends with the words, “Back to Hell-A” before telling fans to stay tuned. Many of the responses were filled with sheer excitement, while some fans began theorizing on what new content could be added to the game. From a new game plus mode to a whole new DLC expansion,Dead Island 2fans aren’t quite sure what Dambuster has in store, but they’re excited nevertheless.
Dead Island 2’s Haus DLC added new weapons, a new location, and a sinister storyline that sees players encounter a secret billionaire with a techno death cult. The expansion received largely positive reviews when it was released in October of 2023, but its follow-up DLC, known as Sola, wasn’t as well received. The game’s community critiqued Sola’s final boss fight and the DLC’s performance issues on PC, giving it a “mostly negative” review badge on Steam.
Dambuster has already gone on record to state that there will be no more DLC expansions following the release of Haus and Sola, but there are still plenty of possibilities fornew post-DLCDead Island 2content. For now, fans will have to wait and see what the development studio has in store, but it’s looking like a big game update could be on the way.
