Dead Island 2 is gruesome, and that’s why we love it. It brings together many of the elements that drew us to the first game and improves upon others. The world is visually stunning, even when decorated by blood and entrails, and the gameplay provides an old-fashioned thrill that lots of new games fail to. The game’s developer, Dambuster Studios, and publisher Deep Silver have just revealed that the hit sequel is getting its first major expansion, Haus, and it’s coming a lot sooner than you may think.
