Good deals are pouring in on the PlayStation Store. And among them, one offer particularly attracts attention: Dead Island 2one of the most anticipated and chaotic games of recent years, is priced at just $12.49, a massive 75% off its original price.
Developed by Dambuster Studios and edited by Deep Silverthe game is available at this price until January 8, 2026 at 2:59 a.m. (Eastern Time). Perfect timing for those who want to treat themselves to a good dose of zombies, without blowing their budget.
A bloody and uninhibited action RPG
Originally released in 2023, Dead Island 2 immerses you in a Los Angeles ravaged by a zombie virus. The player plays an infected but immune survivor, who must both unravel the mystery of his condition and survive the apocalypse. The gameplay is based on a first-person combat system that is brutal, visceral and spectacular.
Despite its tormented origins – remember that the game was announced in 2014 then postponed numerous times – it managed to convince part of the public and the press. “Apart from its proven combat formula, Dead Island 2 does not innovate significantly”, but that does not prevent it from offering an effective adventure, served by a punchy artistic direction and a good dose of second degree.
Chaotic development, successful launch
After more than eight years of waiting, many people feared yet another shipwreck. However, when it was released on PS4 and PS5, Dead Island 2 surprised by its finish. With a average rating of 73 on Metacriticit has become one of the “correct but pleasant” games of 2023, ideal for letting off steam without thinking too much.
“It’s a very conventional game, which was arguably the smartest decision by Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver, given the chaotic development the game has experienced since its reveal in 2014. Ultimately, it’s a success!”
A limited offer not to be missed
At less than $13, it’s hard to resist the temptation. If you missed Dead Island 2 when it was released or hesitated because of its price, now is clearly the time to take the plunge. The game remains playable on PS5 like PS4and its action-packed open-world format is ideal for occupying long winter evenings.
Be careful though, this exceptional offer ends very quickly. You have until January 8 at 2:59 a.m. (EST) to add it to your library. After this period, the game will return to its usual price. And the zombies don’t wait.
