Dead Island 2: Zombies, weapons, and weird LA side missions

Gameplay from Dead Island 2 (Image via Deep Silver)

Set in a broken version of Los Angeles, DI 2 is all about over-the-top action. You don’t hide or survive quietly — you fight loudly, messily, and with style. You choose one of six slayers, each with unique skills, and use wild weapons to take out the infected. The story takes you through various places, including beaches, gym rooftops, and movie sets, while offering some truly odd characters and side quests.

The game is violent, but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously. The developers have thrown in humour, bizarre missions (like finding lost influencer gear), and random bits of LA chaos to keep it light-hearted.

Also free this week: Happy Game

Alongside Dead Island 2, Epic is also giving away Happy Game, a dark puzzle adventure, and it’s available until May 22, 2025.
