Dead Island 2 Cover Story And Fire Emblem Engage Preview | GI Show

Anna Larison

5 Jan, 2023

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, Alex Van Aken and Wesley LeBlanc break down our Dead Island 2 cover story and recap their recent trip to Dambuster Studios in Nottingham, England. The pair played roughly eight hours of the upcoming sequel, set in zombie-infested Los Angeles, and came away reasonably surprised. Lastly, Alex and Wes answer your questions about Dead Island 2 from Twitter and Discord.

During The Playlist, the crew chats about recent games they've been playing, including Fire Emblem Engage, Signalis, Norco, and Neon White.
