Dead Island 2 Next Update “Patch 6” Unleashes on Oct. 22, Brings New Game+ and More
For those that bought Dead Island 2, the game’s content drop isn’t over just yet. Dambuster has announced that there’s another major title update in the works, which will be out in October 22! This Dead Island 2 next update is called “Patch 6” and brings new content to the game and for free.
Dead Island 2 Next Update “Patch 6” Overview:
New Game+
This will allow players to jump back into the main story with their favorite characters and weapons, with an additional skin slot and increased level cap. This mode also adds fresh new skins and weapons, an increased difficulty, and even new enemies.
Neighborhood Watch
This is a brand-new co-op horde mode! Players will be able to team up with friends to tackle missions, set traps and stockpile a lethal arsenal.
Per Dambuster: “Team up with your crew to tackle missions, set traps and stockpile a lethal arsenal. And then…brace yourselves for the fifth and final day, when the zombie onslaught hits hard. If your defenses and teamwork are up to scratch, you might just survive to tell the tale. Plus, you’ll constantly unlock new abilities to make every run more savage and electrifying than the last.”
The mode will also introduce new weapons, skins, a new location and even new game mechanics.
We’re also expecting bug fixes and various gameplay adjustments to be part of Patch 6. Dambuster said more details will be shared at a later date, so stay tuned.
For those who haven’t dipped their toes in the Dead Island 2 pool, now might be the perfect time, as not only is the game is cheaper than at launch, but there has been a few patches released to make the overall game experience better. You can read our in-depth review of it here, where we state, “With a consistent and crunchy limb damage system, some great sightseeing to catch, and more secret side-quests than you can shake your damaging electrocutor pike at, Dead Island 2 is absolutely worth the ride, despite its flaws.”
