It’s been a long time coming, but Dead Island 2‘s release is right around the corner and it’s finally going to be a reality.

In anticipation of the game, many players are curious about what kind of benefits they’ll get if they pre-order the game or buy special editions.
Here’s all the information you need to know about all of the Dead Island 2 special edition bonuses and other rewards.
What do you get if you pre-order Dead Island 2?
