Following its launch in April 2023, Dead Island 2 is set to receive its first story expansion on November 2, with its second in the works and slated for release next year.
Titled Haus, the upcoming expansion will take you through an entirely new story where you'll be tasked with investigating a mysterious death cult desperately fighting to survive against the Zompocalypse in Malibu. It has been described by Deep Silver as a “psycho-horror dreamscape,” already setting a rather haunting and intense tone for its content.
Alongside its new story, Haus will add several new tools such as an exploding crossbow, and eight new skill cards to utilize throughout the experience. Full details on which survival tools and skill cards are being added are fairly thin on the ground, so you may just have to do some exploring to find them once you’re in the expansion.
But that’s not all, as a second story expansion is in the works and set to release next year too. Alongside Haus, the second expansion SOLA Festival is scheduled to release in the second quarter of 2024, but an exact release date is yet to be announced. That said, the vague release window suggests an 'early summer timeframe' (likely between June and July next year) to keep on your radar.
Although we don’t know the full extent of what to expect from this expansion, the description provided by Deep Silver from the initial announcement of both story expansions states: “Welcome to the SOLA festival, where LA’s party people can greenwash their way to ecstasy and save the planet, one rave at a time. So L.A! SOLA Festival, will launch in Q2, 2024.”

With how much Dead Island 2’s apocalypse parody poked fun at the Los Angeles area earlier this year, I guess it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention from vicious zombies to equally mindless cultists. I mean, how could they forget California’s reputation for welcoming eccentric people who then take advantage of our tolerance by brainwashing vast swathes of the population? Thankfully, this is something developer Dambuster Studios has corrected with its first DLC, Haus, which transports your character to a cult compound in Malibu where you’ll rub elbows with rich elites and smack down zombies who look like they’re dressed for the runway. And while I won't turn my nose up at a few more good laughs from a game I enjoyed, a three-hour runtime and very few new wrinkles to change up Dead Island 2’s basic zombie slashing formula make this jaunt extremely short-lived and a little unexciting.
