The inaugural story expansion for Dead Island 2, titled “Haus,” transports players to fresh locations where they must confront a mysterious cult in the midst of the relentless zombie apocalypse. This new narrative revolves around the techno-death cults led by the fanatical figure Konstantin, who sees these confrontations as a glimpse into the future’s ideal. The adventure takes place within a Malibu villa, described as a “twisted maze of environments where logical architecture is transformed into an expansive narrative landscape.”
The specifics of this may be somewhat puzzling, but Haus introduces eight novel in-game cards and fresh weapons, including the long-range K-Rossbow and the fire-spewing Hog Roaster. While no official trailer has been released by developer Dambuster Studios, a handful of screenshots are available for viewing.
Dead Island 2 Haus is set to launch on November 2. For more insights, you can peruse our review of the base game and explore our in-depth feature on the development history of Yager Interactive’s discarded iteration of Dead Island 2.
