The developers of Dead Island 2 from Dumbster Studios talked about how the game's story begins. The events of the project will unfold ten years after the end of the previous story, and Los Angeles will become the scene of action. which turned out to be the new epicenter of the zombie infestation.

At some point, a wave of virus outbreaks swept through the metropolis, after which the US authorities evacuated part of the population, and the rest were left to die. Our hero with a company of other people ended up on the last plane, but along the way it turned out that there were infected people on board. The ship was turned around, and our character was bitten, although in the future he did not turn for some reason. Now we need to get out and tell everyone about our immunity.
