New Video Reveals Heavy-Hitting Brawler Dani as a Playable Character in ‘Dead Island 2’ [Trailer]
Dead Island 2 is just one of the games we’re looking forward to playing later this year, with Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios continuing to slowly reveal new info for the game’s long-awaited release. They’ve released another short video, this time introducing Dead Island 2 players to Dani , a rockabilly brawler with a knack for messing up zombies.
Hailing from the mosh pits of County Cork in Ireland, Dani is described as “a headstrong rockabilly brawler with a foul mouth and a twisted sense of humor.” If you choose to play as Dani as you work your way through the zombie apocalypse known as HELL-A, you’ll have two very handy skills at your disposal: “Bloodlust” and “Thunderstruck”.
Bloodlust allows Dani to regain health when slaying multiple zombies in quick succession., while Thunderstruck grants Dani’s heavy attacks the ability to trigger a powerful explosion on impact.
Dani joins the previously-revealed characters Amy, Jacob and Ryan, who each have their own abilities that you’ll have to take advantage of in order to survive. You can find out more about the rest of the playable characters on the official website.
Dead Island 2 takes place several months after the events of the first game, with the United States military putting the California under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start.
Dead Island 2 will release on April 28 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
