DEAD ISLAND 2 COMING 3^RD FEBRUARY, 2023, 28^th April 2023

21^st April 2023!  This time we’re sure because

DEAD ISLAND 2 HAS GONE GOLD

HELL-A, CALIFORNIA, 13^th February 2023 (Sydney, Australia, 14^th February 2023) | Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios are in equal measures absolutely thrilled and totally relieved to confirm that the long anticipated zombie slaying saga Dead Island 2 has GONE GOLD. As a celebration the two companies have also decided to shorten the wait for fans and release the game one week earlier than they were expecting. Zombie slaying will now commence on Friday, 21^st April 2023. 

The ground breaking Dead Island franchise first hit the scene in 2011 with one of the most viewed videogame trailers of all time.  The latest instalment, which was announced with a gloriously gory trailer during gamescom’s Opening Night Live event in 2022, takes players on a blood soaked, pulp voyage to escape Los Angeles, now nicknamed HELL-A, as it descends into zombie-infested chaos with all of the over the top action and dark humor that fans will be expecting. 

Until the game releases, Deep Silver will be revealing more gameplay and trailers for fans of the franchise to enjoy before they embark on their own fight for survival on 21^st April 2023.

Pre-orders are live now and the game will release on Xbox Series X and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment systems from Microsoft, PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment systems and the Epic Games Store for PC.

STORY

A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the tainted powers running through your veins. Only you, and the handful of other swaggering assholes who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, hold the future of Los Angeles (and humanity), in the balance. You were born to this.

As you uncover the truth behind the outbreak you’ll uncover the truth of who – or what – you are. Survive, evolve, save the world – just another day in LA!

FEATURES

• Explore HELL-A – Dead Island 2 takes players across the most iconic locations of the City of Angels, now stained with horror, in an exciting pulp journey from the verdant suburbia of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach.

• Brutal Melee Sandbox – Combat delivers the most intense, visceral and gory first person experience possible, with plenty of weapons and brutally tactical options to chew your way through the zombie horde. Whether you’re slicing, smashing, burning or ripping, we want you to truly feel it.

• Be the Ultimate Zombie Slayer – There are six characters to choose from, each with their own unique personality and dialogues. You can fully customize the abilities of each Slayer, with our brand-new skill system allowing you to re-spec instantly and try out the craziest builds.

• Zombie Infestation – Ready to experience the most advanced dismemberment system in games? Our LA is crawling with zombies that look and react realistically. These mutated wretches are the reanimated, rotten heart of Dead Island 2 with dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks and hundreds of visual LA-themed variants. Our monsters are relentless, challenging, and true Los Angelinos. Will you be able to survive?

• A Cinematic Co-op Adventure – As a proper RPG experience, Dead Island 2 offers plenty of exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story, to truly immerse you in its twisted universe. Re-playability is guaranteed. Add an over-the-top co-op mode for up to three players, and you’ll stay in LA for a very long (and gory) trip.

They are one of the representatives of the DevGAMM community. Therefore, DevGAMM organizes the conference that will help them to integrate into a local Polish community. Moreover, there were no such events in Gdańsk before. It has a beautiful Baltic Sea, tourist locations, and, more importantly, a gaming community.

The conference will gather game industry professionals for top-notch sessions from:

• Jon Carnage, Head of Cross Media, tinyBuild 
• Henrique Olifiers, CEO, Bossa Studios 
• Rami Ismail, Consultant
• Fawzi Mesmar, Game Designer / Author
• Alex Nichiporchik, CEO, tinyBuild
• Florian Friedrich, Game Designer, stillalive studios
• Maria Borys-Piątkowska, Senior Narrative Designer, Flying Wild Hog 
• Pedro Augusto, Senior 3D Artist, Ten Square Games
• Michalina Milewicz-Zalewska, Project Manager, BoomBit

• Yoyu Li, Creative Technology Director, Infinite Whys

… & more!

The full program is already available on the website.

What else? The brand-new service from DevGAMM — Matchmaking for publishers and developers. The main goal is to facilitate new incredible cooperations.

The developers can apply via the games submissions form and expect an invitation from publishers and investors either at the event or via email.

Moreover, the event program will include Digital Vikings Awards, which is a brand-new competition for indie game developers. The event will also host The Best Indie Publisher of 2022 award. The developers will compete in 6 categories:

• Best Indie Game Awards
• Most Anticipated Indie Game 
• Best Multiplayer Co-op
• Hidden Gem
• Best Solo-Dev Game
• Best Art Style

The SEGA classic reimagined for single and two-player next-gen VR gameplay has a teaser trailer…

Imagine playing the ultimate larger-than-life sport that makes you feel both stimulated and relaxed, that you can play alone or with a friend, all while enjoying stunning visuals and the pulsating beats of dynamic, entrancing music.

A full-body transportive experience at the end of space and time – what VR was always meant to be.

New game studio and publisher RapidEyeMovers and VR pioneers Wolf & Wood are excited to announce the upcoming launch of C-Smash VRS, a complete reimagining of SEGA’s iconic Dreamcast and arcade classic for PlayStation®VR2 and online gameplay.

Combining a low-gravity form of Squash with timed block-breaking challenges, C-Smash VRS brings together the very best of racket sports and timeless action puzzle gameplay. Dashing and ducking from one side to the other and performing intense shots and trick smashes, players can use all walls as they journey through dozens of levels of fun and fitness.

Players can either play alone or forge a cosmic connection with a friend, exploring a variety of online versus and co-op modes. 

Ultra-smooth gameplay, mind-bending trick shots and slow-mo’s soon feel like second nature. Thanks to intuitive controls, finger detection, 3D audio and haptics, players will learn the basics and feel fully immersed within mere minutes. 

Original dynamic tracks by DJ Ken Ishii (Rez Infinite) and synth master Danalogue (front man of The Comet is Coming and Soccer 96) bring a pulse to the game’s striking environments – as well as the players’ bodies. C-Smash VRS is a new form of synesthesia. 

Produced and published by RapidEyeMovers and developed by Wolf & Wood, C-Smash VRS is the second collaboration between director Jörg Tittel and Wolf & Wood. Their first, ‘The Last Worker’ – the only game selected for the 78th Venice Film Festival – is nearing release on VR, consoles and PC – including on PS VR2, of course.

Only playable with two players at a time, the adventure begins after choosing a couch co-op companion or sharing access to BOKURA with a fellow wanderer via Steam Friend Pass.

The pair can only unravel the mysteries of their new predicament by cooperating and comparing their surroundings. Both realities contain distinct artifacts impacting the other world. Convey needs and solutions through voice chat to solve complex puzzles. Search for a way forward together, focusing on mutual progression instead of a “correct” answer. Discover multiple endings across different paths on a highly-replayable voyage.
