Get Ready for the Revenants: The Terrifying Zombies of Dead Island 2’s New Game Plus

Share

The Revenants have had a gory goth glow-up that makes them instantly identifiable, with layers of what looks like thick white make-up and deep black rings around the eyes. The look was inspired by classic horror movie villains, and there’s certainly a fierce new energy that’s more Halloween or Evil Dead than Walking Dead. Think the existing Mutator is creepy? Wait until you see the Revenant version. Between them, the Revenant Butcher and Revenant Screamer should give the toughest slayer some nightmares!

And it’s not just the look that’s changed. Revenants will have changes to their attacks or their behaviors to make each encounter a killer thriller. By focusing on specific attacks or fighting differently, they’ll force even seasoned Dead Island 2 veterans to mix up their tactics or tweak their builds. Some will also appear in new locations that the team wasn’t able to utilize in the main campaign, while familiar locations will be turned upside down. Think the underground car park under the Halperin Hotel is a zombie-slaying cakewalk? Play New Game Plus and get ready for a shake-up!
