However, it was generally recognized as a worthy successor to its predecessor, offering impressive graphics and enjoyable zombie-killing action, despite some technical glitches.

Now, fans can eagerly anticipate the release of the Haus DLC, as Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver, the developer and publisher respectively, are preparing to launch this substantial update.

Dead Island 2's DLC plans and roadmap were revealed a few months after the game's initial release. It was confirmed that fans could expect two DLC story expansions, with the first one named Haus set to launch in Q4 2023. The release date for Haus has now been confirmed as Thursday, November 2, announced via Twitter along with some striking key art. Although an official trailer has yet to be released, eager fans can delve into the previously released description, which reveals that the DLC will center around a billionaire who has established a "techno-death cult" amidst the zombie apocalypse.
