As some fans might already know, Dead Island 2 will allow users to play as six different characters, two more than in the first installment of the series. And today, January 17, it has been revealed some of the backstories of the four slayers residing in HELL-A revealed so far via an Xbox Wire article.
If you haven't heard about this title, its website describes it as a ''thrilling First-Person, Action RPG that takes players across a brand-new playground – a hellish vision of LA (or HELL-A, as we like to call it). Dead Island 2 is stylish, vibrant, and flooded with zombie infection. Explore iconic, gore-drenched Los Angeles. Meet larger-than-life characters. Slay countless foes in exquisitely bloody detail. And evolve to become the ultimate Zombie Slayer!''
Below you will see the information shared for each slayer, although by going to the original article you will get some extra information about each of them. The official presentation videos of each character are also age-restricted, so it is recommended to select "Watch on YouTube" so you don't miss them.
Jacob
"This Brixton boy and former banker upped sticks and moved to LA to pursue a career as a Hollywood stuntman after the death of his beloved mum. Jacob brings a cool and collected attitude to every situation, no matter how hairy it is. You’ll often hear Jacob quoting Shakespeare as he rips through a horde of zombies. It’s safe to say this Brit is certainly making his mark on HELL-A!"
Amy
"An LA native and former Paralympian, Amy now competes at the highest level in the discipline of zombie slaying. Years of honing her mental and physical abilities have left her with lightning-quick reflexes, iron focus, and a winner’s determination. She’s accepted the situation in HELL-A and is even managing to bring a little positivity to proceedings as she takes on the undead across the city."
Dani
"County Cork’s own rockabilly daughter. Dani originally made her way across the Pond to live and work in Boston. One icy cold winter later, she decided to relocate to Los Angeles. She may not quite fit in with the influencers and pop stars residing in LA, but since landing in the city, she’s made herself a fixture of the local punk and alternative scenes and found that joining a roller derby team was the perfect way to let out some pent-up aggression."
Ryan
"This Fresno native’s success as a sexy-firefighter-o-gram and exotic dancer often sees him under the bright lights of LA. When he isn’t entertaining bachelorette parties by making his pecs dance, he’s devoted to his family. He has an especially close bond with his little brother, whom he raised for many years after their parents passed. Now that the city has gone to hell, his goal is to get back home to make sure his bro is safe."
