Dead Island 2 shares a release date for its first story DLC: Haus

Dead Island 2 will soon receive its first story DLC. Titled Haus, this expansion of the story promises to follow up on what has already been seen in the base game, whose ending was left open. Below we tell you everything we know so far about the the Dead Island 2 DLC, including when it comes out, and what it is about:

This is Haus, the first story DLC for Dead Island 2

Deep Silver has announced Haus, which is the first story DLC for Dead Island 2, which will be available from Thursday, November 2, 2023.

The company did not give more details about the plot, although we can deduce a bit of the context from the promotional art they have shared and from its name. “Haus” is “house” in German, and “Konradt” happens to be a very common German surname. It could be that in Haus, the search for answers about the Numen will be delved deeper into, and we might deal with Lola Konradt and her followers.

From what we can see in the screenshots that accompany this text, in Haus we will visit new areas such as luxury mansions occupied by a mysterious cult that worships zombies and there will be new weapons like an explosive crossbow.

The Haus DLC adds new types of enemies and at least three new areas: Haus, Cul de Sac and Long Piglet’s.

Gematsu has shared several short videos about this DLC on their YouTube channel, in which we can see what the new weapons are like, the new types of enemies, and the locations we visit. We leave you a couple of them just below:
