You will want to know the Dead Island 2 release times, so you can see when it unlocks in your timezone and gain access to the latest entry in the franchise. 

Dead Island 2 has revived the long-dormant series after a decade of development hell that saw the sequel swap between three studios. Much like the original games, it's an action role-playing game that sees you attempt to survive and escape the zombie apocalypse, which is occurring in Los Angeles this time around. 

If you're invested in trying the game yourself, then check out the Dead Island 2 release times and check out when you can get your hands on it.

According to the official Dead Island Twitter account, you will be able to play Dead Island 2 once it hits midnight on April 21 in your local timezone. You can check out the official global release times map in the image above.

This means the game will have a staggered global release, and players in different timezones won't be able to play together until it hits April 21 in all locations. 

Dead Island 2 is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, where it will be available on the Epic Games Store exclusively for a year. 

Console players will also be able to begin the preload for the game now, allowing you to start playing the second it hits midnight in your timezone. Unfortunately, PC users are out of luck here, and will instead have to begin the download for the game once it hits midnight in their timezone.

That's all for our explainer of the Dead Island 2 release times, and now you know when the game will launch in your timezone on April 21.
