Gear up for Dead Island 2's Steam debut with a free copy of Dead Island: Riptide - Definitive Edition

If you have been waiting for Dead Island 2 to release on Steam, your patience is about to pay off – and then some.

Dambuster Studios announced today that its multimillion-selling zombie game will hit Steam on April 22, which is when the Epic Games Store’s exclusivity period ends.

If you haven’t played Dead Island 2 yet, this time out you are stuck in Los Angeles, under quarantine due to a deadly virus spreading through the populous. Luckily, you are miraculously immune and will slash your way through well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica where you will meet an interesting cast of characters and try to uncover the truth behind the outbreak. You can also recruit three friends to go along with you on your zombie-killing spree.
