Back at E3 2014 we saw the humorous announcement trailer for Dead Island 2, which looked to promote a much less serious game than previous releases.
This is reaffirmed in a new trailer, which offers us our first peek at gameplay. The trailer, titled “Sunshine & Slaughter,” reveals lots of creative zombie killing weapons, as well as plenty of the good old fashioned blunt objects and guns options if that’s more your style.
You can see the Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer below.
If you thought Dead Island: Riptide was the sequel to the tropical island zombie apocalypse game Dead Island, and you thought Dying Light was its next-gen spiritual successor, here’s some news for you: they were not, and Dead Island 2 is in fact on the way.
The game was announced with a new cinematic trailer at E3 2014, but unlike that haunting and devastating first trailer for Dead Island, the sequel’s first trailer is much more silly, but in a very entertaining way.

Remember that brilliant first cinematic trailer for Dead Island a couple of years back? It was so good it instantly put the game on most people’s radar without even seeing any gameplay, and maybe even elevated some people’s expectations for the game higher than the final product could live up to.
Now that trailer is resurfacing in the form of a shot-for-shot fan-made live-action remake, which, as you might imagine, probably wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to shoot and edit together to match the original.
