Yesterday at E3, Sony officially announced DEAD ISLAND 2 is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in the Spring of 2015. In addition, a trailer has been released to get us pumped about the upcoming game, which you can find below.

You’ll recall the trailer for the first game, when released three years ago, made waves on the net for its clever, and surprisingly heartbreaking, storytelling. The trailer for DEAD ISLAND 2 goes in the opposite direction, giving us something to smile about.

Publisher Deep Silver describes the game this way:

Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’’s Venice Beach.

Look for DEAD ISLAND 2 next spring.
