New ‘Dead Island 2’ Story Expansion “Haus” Coming November 2nd
First teased back in June, Dambuster and Deep Silver have announced that the first story expansion for Dead Island 2 is coming your way next month. Known as Haus, the expansion takes Dead Island 2 players on a completely new ride, where a secret billionaire’s techno-death cult fights for survival amidst the Zompocalypse. Haus is a paragon of a new future, as prophesied by their enigmatic leader Konstantin. Players will battle through Haus with new weapons and cards, as they face legions of zombies intent on their slaughter.
Haus is set in a completely new location, a mysterious and stylish villa in Malibu where the boundaries of morality are pushed to the limit. This nightmarish location serves as both a sanctuary and a machine to strip away flesh and harvest the soul. Players will weave through the deranged labyrinth of biomes where rational architecture is subverted by expanding narrative spaces.
Speaking of which, players will be dealing out punishment with the likes of the K-ROSSBOW, which can unleash devastating long-range firepower, a flamethrower known as the Hog Roaster, and Dead Islands, which allows you to smash your undead enemies into oblivion. There will also be 8 new Skill Cards for players to use that will embellish your slayer with an expanded arsenal of skills.
Haus will be available for Dead Island 2 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store on November 2nd.
After the success of Jurassic World Evolution and its sequel, you knew that Frontier Developments would be itching to return to the well again. That appears to be the case, as the developer/publisher has announced that they’ve signed a deal with Universal for a third entry.
According to the press release, the third game in the series is scheduled for release between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026, with the game expected to be officially announced in the coming months. If you’re wondering about the date range, that would be because Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are currently developing a new Jurassic World film that’s slated for release on July 2, 2025.
Jurassic World Evolution remains Frontier’s best-selling game to date since its release almost six years ago.
“We are delighted to reveal that we are developing a third Jurassic World game to extend our collaborative relationship with Universal Products & Experiences for our best-selling game franchise,” states Frontier Development Chief Executive Officer Jonny Watts. “Our Jurassic World Evolution game franchise has showcased great creative and technical expertise in CMS games and the strength of our select, develop, launch, and nurture strategy in the genre. I very much look forward to providing more information on our exciting plans for the franchise in the future.”
You can grab the first two entries in the series on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
