Dead Island 2's massive Patch 6 brings the heat with fan-requested features and fresh content. The update delivers the long-awaited New Game Plus mode, terrifying new Revenant zombies, and an intense Neighbourhood Watch horde mode. Players who own the Ultimate Edition also get exclusive bundles to amp up their zombie-slaying arsenal.
Dead Island 2 Update Brings Fresh Carnage to Hell-A
Meet Your New Nightmares - The Revenants
The latest update transforms Dead Island 2 with the addition of New Game Plus, letting survivors replay the entire campaign while keeping all their hard-earned gear and skills. Your leveled-up Slayer gets three extra skill slots, a higher level cap, upgraded weapons, and new cosmetic options to flaunt while facing deadlier versions of familiar foes.
The real stars of this update are the Revenants - souped-up Apex zombies that will test even veteran players. These monstrous variants boast new attack patterns and enhanced abilities specifically designed to push combat to its limits. As developers cheekily warned: "If you're craving a challenge, we've dialed it up to eleven!"
To balance the increased difficulty, weapons in NG+ receive significant power boosts, with more high-tier gear to discover. The update also introduces Neighbourhood Watch - an addictive hybrid mode combining horde survival with tactical base defense. Players must survive five grueling days, alternating between scavenging for supplies by day and defending their stronghold against relentless undead assaults by night.
Ultimate Edition Upgrades with Kingdom Come Crossover
The newly released Ultimate Edition bundles everything a Slayer could want: the base game, both story expansions ("Haus" and "SoLA"), and the exclusive Kingdom Come: Deliverance II cosmetic pack. This premium package includes five weapon packs:
- Memories of Banoi Pack
- Golden Weapons Pack
- Pulp Weapons Pack
- Red's Demise Pack
- All six Slayer's Premium Skin Packs
