If you love smashing zombie heads and exploring chaotic worlds, Dead Island 2 is free on the Epic Games Store right now.

But hurry, it’s only free until May 22 at 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST. Here’s how to grab it.

|How to Get Dead Island 2 for Free

  • Go to the Epic Games Store: Head to the website or open the launcher. Just click here to grab it.

  • Log In: Make sure you’re logged in with your Epic Games account.

  • Search for Dead Island 2: You’ll find it in the free games section.

  • Hit ‘Get’: Complete the checkout (it’s free, so no payment needed).

|Why You Should Play

The game drops you right into the chaos of “Hell-A”, a twisted, zombie-filled version of Los Angeles. You get to play as one of six “Slayers,” each with their own skills. The game’s all about brutal combat, from smashing zombies with bats to electrifying them with modded weapons. The combat is brutal and messy.

And it’s not just a hack and slash game. The world is packed with missions, secrets, and, of course, hordes of the undead. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends in multiplayer, it’s a mix of horror and dark humor that’s ridiculously fun.

|Don’t Miss Out on the DLCs

Patch 6 of Dead Island 2 introduced the Neighbourhood Watch mode, a chaotic new challenge where you and your friends defend a wrecked old frat house from relentless waves of zombies. Players need to fortify defenses, share resources, and fend off increasingly tougher undead hordes. This mode is all about fast decisions and wild action, perfect for coop chaos. However, it’s not part of the free base game, you’ll need to upgrade to the Deluxe Edition. The free version of the game includes the full base game, but if you want more chaos, there are two DLCs worth trying:

  • Haus: A creepy mansion with cult vibes and a ton of challenges.

  • SoLA: A zombie-filled music festival that’s just pure carnage.

Both expansions add new stories, locations, and a ton of fun to the game.

|Why Dead Island 2 is So Much Fun

  • Crazy Weapon Crafting: Want a flaming katana? Sure. Electrified Wolverine claws? You got it.

  • Variety of Zombies: From fast runners to massive tank-like undead, every fight feels different.

  • Co-Op Madness: Team up with friends for even more chaos.

|Don’t Miss the Free Game

This free deal is part of Epic Games Store’s regular free game rotation, but Dead Island 2 is one of the best they’ve offered in a while. Make sure you grab it before the deadline and dive into Hell-A for free.

If you’re into horror games or just love chaotic adventures, this one’s a no-brainer.

Go grab Dead Island 2 now, team up with friends, and survive the chaos
