Celebrating a Year of Dead Island 2: A Message from Dambuster Studios

[h3]It’s just over one year since launch of Dead Island 2 and all of us at Dambuster Studios are humbled and thrilled by the outstanding response of our passionate slayers![/h3]

It’s been a truly memorable year for the Dead Island franchise.

We have had well over 7 million players enter Hell-A and a brain melting 24 BILLION zombies slayed! These are simply mind boggling numbers! We were also truly honoured to be nominated for Best Action Game at the Game Awards last year, and more recently for Best British Game at the esteemed BAFTA’s.

2024 has already got off to a flying start with the release of our second story expansion SoLA, and in bringing Dead Island 2 to Steam. Your passionate feedback means a huge amount to us, and we are dedicated to providing ongoing support for Dead Island 2 across all platforms.

To all our slayers – we read and value all your comments and wishes for the future! In the following months we’ll share some exciting and long awaited new game updates, so stay tuned for more Dead Island 2 content to come!

[h5]All the best, and thank you for slaying! [/h5]

Steam Hotfix v1.0

[h3]Slayers,[/h3]

This hotfix specifically addresses an issue that some users have had with outdated/updating Epic Online Services.

However, it will not directly address other EOS related issue some users are reporting. We’re still trying to resolve that issue and will keep everyone updated as we know more.

Verifying steam game files will cause EOS to update to the latest version. We would suggest users do this even if they are not currently facing any issues.

For those users who have experienced issues with an EOS connection error, please ensure you have internet connection and verify the steam game files - in some cases this will rectify the issue. We are looking into other possible causes for this; If this or other issues persist, please submit contact customer support (click here) and we will investigate.

If after the hotfix - and file verification - users still find that their version of EOS has not updated, they will need to exit EGL (if it is installed), manually uninstall EOS, and then verify again. This will install the correct version of EOS.

[h3]See You in HELL-A[/h3]
