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.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
