Like every open-world adventure game, Dead Island 2 will put its players up against many challenges. Besides the main story, which will most likely require players to travel to dangerous areas of the map and face stronger zombies, the game is full of side activities and quests.

All in all, Dead Island 2 sounds like a game that will keep you tied to your PCs and consoles for weekends to come. It officially releases on April 21, and with the launch date getting closer and closer, players have started wondering whether it will be available on Xbox Game Pass.
