‘Phasmophobia’ Coming to Consoles This August, Will Feature Optional Crossplay [Trailer]

It didn’t take long for Dambuster and Deep Silver to put out the first DLC for Dead Island 2, with more on the way. Out today is the new Cosplay feature. This free addition is unlocked during the “Call The Cavalry” quest, after which players can select cosplay via the main menu or by visiting any storage locker in the game.

The Cosplay feature houses a brand-new collection of character skins to customize slayers:

• Premium Character Packs: These include a unique skin for the slayer named in the pack and a weapon that can be used by any of the slayers, from the HELL-A Catwalk Collection. There is a total of six character packs, all available to purchase from digital stores today:

• Character Packs 1 (Silver Star Jacob) and Pack 2 (Cyber Slayer Amy) are included for owners of the Deluxe, Gold, and HELL-A Editions of Dead Island 2.
• Four further character packs – Gaelic Queen Dani (included for owners of the Expansion Pass), Jungle Fantasy Ryan, Steel Horse Carla, and Venice Vogue Bruno – are also available to further enhance your Slayer’s stylish look.

• “Til Dawn” Collection: Features a brand-new skin for each of the six slayers, free for all players. These will automatically appear in the cosplay section after the latest update has been downloaded and players have reached the unlock point for Cosplay.

Additionally, players will be able to get “From Dusk” Collection skins through Prime Gaming Rewards (for Amazon Prime members) throughout 2023. From Dusk Dani is first and available from June 15 to July 17. This collection includes the Legless FOMOrian skin which can be selected when playing as Dani, and the FOMOrian Claws, which can be used with any of the six slayers.

The more substantial DLC for Dead Island 2 comes later this year with the “Haus” expansion, which is slated for a Q4 2023 release. Both expansions will feature brand new missions, weapons and skills, and areas to explore with Haus in particular featuring a “techno-death cult and a healthy splash of debauchery and gore.”

The second expansion will welcome players to the “SOLA Festival”, where LA’s party people can “greenwash their way to ecstasy and save the planet in true LA fashion”, one rave at a time. SOLA Festival will launch in Q2 2024. Haus and SOLA Festival are included in Dead Island 2’s Expansion Pass, and will also be available to purchase separately.

Dead Island 2 is available now on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. You can learn more about the DLC roadmap from the official site.
