Dead island 2

Overview
According to Deep Silver's statement, the game will take place in Northern California and Southern California back-to-back.

Deep Silver released a statement describing the third installment in the series:
 * Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’s Venice Beach.[5]
 * Jack Black and Aaron Paul are rumored to appear in this game, however, this appears to be a 'impersonator' for Jack Black as seen here. The impersonator, Mick Wingert, later confirmed his involvement in the game.

Heroes
As with the first game, there are four playable characters, who each have their own class designation. They are Ryan, the "Berserker" and a former volunteer firefighter, Ashlee, the "Huntress" and a former teacher and party girl, John, the "Bishop" and apparently a preacher, and Dani, the "Speeder" and a stuntwoman.

Zombies

 * Suicider: The Suicider will be large and fast moving. They are like bombs and when shot will violently explode. They have glowing yellow patches around their bodies and are fattened.


 * Thug: Thugs will be a lot different than they were in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. Rather than being muscular and slow, they will be enormously fat and around the speed of a Walker.


 * Walkers: The most common type of zombie present in previous games.


 * Runners: Much faster than walkers, similar to Infected in Dead Island.
 * Shambler
