Dead Island 2 infecting Gamescom in playable form

Deep Silver has revealed that its upcoming zombie slaying sequel, Dead Island 2, will be putting in a playable appearance at Gamescom later this month.

The horror title’s inclusion at Europe’s most prolific video games expo is particularly significant, as it marks “the first time a Dead Island game will be playable on German soil.’

After all, the previous Dead Island games were all banned in Germany due to their graphic nature.

Joining Dead Island 2 will be a host of other titles under Deep Silver’s umbrella, including Dead Island: Epidemic, Sacred 3, Risen 3: Titan Lords, Emergency 5, and Metro Redux.

However, Escape Dead Island, a spin-off that will launch later this year for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, plus the upcoming Homefront: The Revolution, won’t be showing their face on the show floor.

Homefront has made headlines lately following the acquisition of the brand by Deep Silver parent company, Koch Media.
