I've always felt that leafing through concept art and e⭕xploring what might have been is one of the best things about game releases, so it's a pleasure to be able to exclusively reveal The Art of Dead Island 2 by Dark Horse here on GamesRadar.

Although it's a little ways out (it's due to launch in bookstores on February 6, 2024 and February 7 in comic shops), The Art of Dead Island 2 is stuffed with insights into the game's development, its characters, enemies, and environments - 192 pages of it, actually. It should feature an ample helping of gore, too; as we mentioned in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dead Island 2 review, these zombies "don't just die, they perform" with some particularly inventive destruct📖ion mechanics, so any glimpse behind the curta🦂in is going to be bloody.

This hardcover book is availa𓆉ble to pre-order now for $49.99 at Amazon or Barnes and Noble, and you can check out the c𓂃over below.

Want a better idea of what's inside? Here's the official blurb fo🌞r The Art of Dead Island 2:

"Prepare for a deep dive into a blood-soaked, zombie-infested hellish vision of Los Angeles. Featu𝔉ring behind-the-scenes insight from writer Alex Calvin (Runescape: The First 20 Years) and more than 100 pages of unadulterated carnage, this journey thr💦ough the vivid world of Dead Island 2 will undoubtedly provide rich conversation around your coffee table!

This gory volume is dripping with insights into the world of Dead Island 2, featuring never-before-seen concept art on each Slayer, their gear and weapons, the ruined and iconic streets of post-outbreak L💃os Angeles, and the shambling hordes of dangerous undead that call it home. The book showcases the creator’s artistic insight into the🍸 game that continues to be a multi-million selling franchise."

Basically, this should be a good 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gift for gamers who love the undead mash-em-up - or a present to yourself if yo﷽u're the fan in question, for that ♍matter.
