Dead Island 2 Slayers - meet the new zombie hunters

Dead Island 2 will soon be released with new content, new zombies, new ways to play, and new slayers.

The game has struggled during its final stages of development with developer changes frequently.

But, after nearly a decade of waiting for the fans, the game is finished and waiting for its release date soon.

Also sitting in the waiting zone are the new slayers, people controlled by the player to do all the dirty work.

Each slayer has their own history, abilities, and ways to play which differ for each slayer.

So, let's meet the slayers, and see how they play and what makes them tick in Dead Island 2.

Here are the Dead Island 2 slayers in all their glory!

Amy in Dead Island 2

Full of energy and speed, this paralympian is perfect for those who like the speed and agility of an athlete.

Carla

This adrenaline junkie has moved on from a motorcycle stunt rider to a daring and strong-willed slayer.
