The teaser for Dead Island 2's Haus DLC unveils an intriguing sight—an unidentified individual stands amidst a room drenched in blood, encircled by a small gathering of zombies. Described as follows, "How does a billionaire brace themselves for the zompocalypse? A techno-death cult complete with indulgence and horrors!" This description hints at the possibility that the aforementioned billionaire is the central figure, having utilized their wealth to prepare for and potentially participate in the zompocalypse. It also establishes potential ties between the billionaire and Dead Island 2's Konradt, along with the potential introduction of fresh lore surrounding the enigmatic Numen. It is highly likely that this character will assume an antagonistic role, especially given the existence of the techno-death cult. Consequently, fans can eagerly anticipate the emergence of a new adversary and a new lethal faction, potentially injecting more gameplay options into the realm of Dead Island 2.
Fans can anticipate new weapons and content in the DLC; however, the likelihood of introducing a new playable character in Dead Island 2 seems low. The biggest question mark lies in the story implications. Marketed as a story-based DLC, players may hope for answers regarding the missing character, Tisha, either in this DLC or at the SOLA Festival. The main character's decision to stay behind in Hell-A to search for Tisha suggests their involvement with a Billionaire's death cult.
Nevertheless, it is likely that this premise is merely the starting point. Whether to set the stage for Dead Island 3 or due to the existence of two DLCs, fans should not expect a resolution to the game's cliffhanger ending. Instead, the DLC will probably introduce its own entertaining story, offer enjoyable gameplay, and possibly advance the new narrative to some extent.
However, it is eagerly anticipated to witness the creative direction that Dambuster Studios will take with the Dead Island 2 DLC upon the release of Haus. The term "Haus," or house, suggests the incorporation of compelling storytelling elements that could potentially interconnect the main character with the Numen, the zombies, and the overarching Hell-A concept. Moreover, Haus will serve as a precursor, defining the expectations for the upcoming SOLA Festival in the following year. Presently, fans can only wait in anticipation for further updates. Dead Island 2 is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
