In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show, Alex Van Aken and Wesley LeBlanc break down our Dead Island 2 cover story and recap their recent trip to Dambuster Studios in Nottingham, England. The pair played roughly eight hours of the upcoming sequel, set in zombie-infested Los Angeles, and came away reasonably surprised.

During The Playlist, the crew chats about recent games they’ve been playing, including Fire Emblem Engage, Signalis, Norco, and Neon White.
