From playing the game so far, it appears that Yager were not going to be putting such an in-depth story into Dead Island 2 as they did with Spec Ops. In fact, it will be more along the lines of, “let’s attach this battery to this knife and watch how many ravaging zombies I can burn from the inside out”. Page 6
