Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have announced that Dead Island 2 will receive the SOLA story expansion on April 17, 2024. Its deadly beats will come to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Epic Games Store.
SOLA is the ultimate Californian music festival with a dark secret: Built on ancient grounds. It’s legendary beats awakened chaos that left nothing but a rotting crater of gore and an evil presence haunting its shadows.
SOLA features include
- New Storyline: A deadly virus sweeps through The Valley, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies as a chthonic rhythm calls from beyond: the beat of the Autophage. Lured to the festival by an enigmatic warning message, players must explore SoLA’s ruins and put a stop to this otherworldly menace.
- New Location: A visceral, gore-drenched music festival in the heart of HELL-A echoing to the sound of The Beat which threatens to turn the living into zombies and could soon make its way out of the forsaken city and across the globe.
- New Enemies: Including the Whipper, a new apex variant enemy, driven mad with self-loathing by the Autophage. Their compulsion to self-mutilate has turned them into a horrific nightmare of disemboweled intestines, allowing them to lash out at range. Along with this mangled creature is the Clotter, another new unsettling apex zombie, that can decompose into a revolting pile of gore, making it immune from damage in that form, and then reform elsewhere to continue the fight. Capable of firing a powerful jet of putrid blood from their heart, it’s deadly both up close and at a distance.
- New Legendary Weapons: Tear the undead apart with the Ripper, a deadly fusion of a baseball bat and circular saw into a percussive machine of dismemberment. For slicing at a distance, try the Sawblade Launcher: a heavy weapon firing rotary sawblades, this is the perfect weapon for ranged decapitation and dismemberment.
Keep your eye on the Dead Island 2 official site for further details as the SOLA launch nears.
