Dead Island 2 Final Slayer “Bruno” Revealed With New Trailer

Ahead of the game’s April 21 launch, Dead Island 2‘s final Slayer Bruno has been revealed in a new trailer released by Dambuster Studios. Bruno is a charming blond thief (he prefers “hustler”) from Los Angeles who loves challenges and despises corruption. The trailer also shows off his gameplay and innate abilities.

Watch the Dead Island 2 Bruno trailer below:

Bruno’s abilities are “Backstab” and “Rapid Reprisal.” While the trailer does not explicitly mention the details of these abilities, Backstab’s icon shows Bruno plunging his knives into a zombie from behind, and a particularly lethal stab attack to a zombie’s skull shown off in the trailer suggests that Backstab is quite likely a critical stealth attack. 

Meanwhile, Rapid Reprisal’s icon depicts Bruno dodging an enemy attack, which apparently has a time-dilation effect as seen in the trailer: after Bruno evades a zombie attack, time appears to have slowed, and Bruno then launches a projectile at a zombie horde that has the same effect. Later on in the trailer, Bruno throws an explosive at another zombie horde, and this again appears to have slowed down time. It is worth noting that this may be a cinematic effect limited to the trailer.

Dead Island 2 shoots out April 21, 2023, for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
