In our demo we only got to play with two, but both characters have quite different play styles. In the full game, you’ll be able to play across San Francisco, Venice Beach, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Los Angeles Golf Course and the LA River. There’s also another area that Jager and publisher Deep Silver isn’t quite ready to talk about.

In a preview of the game, IGN touched on the game's ‘FLESH’ system, or 'Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids', which “procedurally shreds zombies with each strike” and makes the game a truly gory experience.

Dead Island 2 sets itself apart from other survival horror games by offering players an abundance of weapons to discover. While you may become attached to a particular weapon early on it's important to let go of lower-level weapons in favor of higher-level ones. Selling or dismantling surplus weapons is a wise move as you'll come across better items as you progress through the game. Certain special weapons and legendaries obtained through specific missions cannot be sold or dismantled so it's best to store them until you can upgrade them later in the game.
