Dead Island 2’s second DLC takes you to a Californian music festival turned gore-splattered rave

Dambuster Studios has announced a release date for the second batch of story DLC coming to Dead Island 2.

Out April 17, the DLC centers around what’s left of the SoLA music festival, built upon ancient grounds by the event’s organizers, who, apparently aren’t a very savvy bunch. Here, LA’s beautiful bohemians ran afoul of a deadly virus sweeping through The Valley, to turn its inhabitants into ravenous zombies as a chthonic rhythm calls from beyond: the beat of the Autophage.

SoLA features one of its biggest and most open arenas yet, with the aesthetic of a summer festival and more than a few dashes of splatter-movie vibes. There’s an interconnected world behind the stages, where you can see the band members, slay said band members, and explore where they’ve stayed and played.
